This course is the third in the USM Project Management certificate series. It is designed to help project leaders more fully integrate the discipline of project management into their organization. This course provides the concepts, practices, and skills required to face the common workplace project challenges with success. This class will address two important implementation challenges: (1) How can you implement your newly learned project management tools and processes for the specific projects you have been assigned? (2) How can the project leader gain acceptance for project management in your organization, and among co-workers? This course provides opportunities for class participants to examine their organizations' structures, strategies, practices, and history with the perspective of project management best practices.

This course builds on the second course in the certificate series, Effective Project Management.
