Course Overview

Tips for improving management buy-in.
No matter how strongly you believe in the value of your project, you still must convince your management team it's worth the resources. In this short course, you will learn how to build a business case that will persuade management to approve your project. You'll learn how to define the project scope, costs, and benefits, as well as the return on investment (ROI). You'll also learn how to draft a timeline and define the resources required to complete the project, and you'll discover ways to ensure that management thoroughly understands the proposed project.

 

This virtual short course, specifically designed to give you a quick convenient way to renew and refresh your project management skills, maintain your Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification, and earn PDUs on your own time, at your own pace.
