Project management involves leading temporary efforts to achieve unique goals, distinct from the ongoing nature of operations. It requires a structured approach using defined process groups – initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing – and draws on key competencies like strategic thinking, interpersonal communication, and business insight, as outlined by PMI's Talent Triangle. Applicable across nearly every field, project management skills are vital in today’s workplaces where employees often manage tasks alongside regular duties. This course introduces foundational concepts, tools, and techniques to help you effectively manage projects from start to finish. A course assessment must be completed for college credit.

Effective communication takes preparation, practice, and persistence. There are many ways to learn communication skills; the school of experience, or 'hard knocks', is one of them. But in the business environment, a 'knock' (or lesson learned) may come at the expense of your credibility through a blown presentation to a client.
Effective communication skills are a prerequisite for succeeding in business. Communication tools and activities connect people within and beyond the organization to establish the business' place in the corporate and social communities. As a result, communication needs to be consistent, effective, and customized for the business to prosper.
