Course Overview

Engineers are the key role player in a project. For the success of a project, effective project management is imperative. Successful project management must start from the day the project is initiated and it’s not only the role of the Project Managers to work towards making the project successful.

If the Engineers who are working on the project have an understanding of Project management, it would definitely make the project successful.

This Zoe training course will enhance your knowledge about Project management process and various knowledge areas of the project. This course is designed to cover all the aspects related to projects and project management and hence making engineers working on them more responsible for their role.
