The Kent State Project Management Certificate provides the skills professionals need to improve performance, provide leadership and deliver projects on time and on budget. Particular emphasis is placed on defining the customer’s requirements and building a realistic schedule. The tools and principles taught in the three-day certificate program are based on the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).

The programs below can be taken individually or as part of the certificate:

ADVANCED SKILLS FOR MANAGING PROJECTS  (BOB JEWELL, 1 DAY)

PROJECT LEADERSHIP  (BOB JEWELL, 1 DAY)
Organizing and managing the day-to-day activities of a project can be challenging enough. However, you must also have the skills to develop a high-performing team, make and implement effective decisions and communicate with and influence stakeholders outside your core project team. The difference between management and leadership will forever be debated, but when it comes to projects – you manage the process and lead the people. This program focuses on three skills to effectively lead a project:

• developing an effective team
• communicating with and influencing your stakeholders
• making effective project decisions
