Course Description:

Human Resource professionals are often given "extra" assignments. When we look at these special requests, we realize they can be managed as projects, even though they are not thought of as projects. Project management is the art and science of getting results by turning customers desires into concrete products, services or information by following established procedures in a defined sequence. Organizations use projects to achieve their strategic needs, which cannot be attained through everyday operations. A project is is a problem scheduled for a solution.
