There are fundamental project management principles that are critical to success, particularly for Professional Engineers.


This high impact seminar will provide you with tools and techniques that are utilized in a formal Project Management Office. In this seminar, you will learn expert techniques for building successful project teams, creating efficient plans, and implementing effective change management to ensure the success of your projects.
