What people are saying:

I feel like the program helped reinforce the concepts I've been learning as an active project manager. It also helped fill in any of the gaps in my knowledge. It was easy to see how I could apply the concepts to future projects and how I could have used this information to help my current projects progress smoother.

The PM 2 program serves as a comprehensive document of the various responsibilities of project managers that are needed to increase the likelihood of person, team, and firm success. Taking this course helped me to recognize some of my blind spots that I frequently overlook in my regular work. I leave this course having a greater perspective of how to deal with clients and project teams, rather than focusing on only the project work at hand.
