Course description
Global Project Management: In-House Training: In-House Training
In this course, you will dig deeper—and differently—into project management processes, tools, and techniques, developing the ability to see them through the lens of global and cultural project impacts.
In today’s increasingly global environment, managing a project with customers and support organizations spread across multiple countries and continents is a major challenge.
From identifying stakeholders and gathering requirements, to planning, controlling, and executing the project, the basic logistics of a global project present their own standard challenges. However, with additional cultural, language-based, and regional elements, global projects involve more complexities than teams often realize. There are unique communication needs, cultural awareness elements, varying customs and work expectations, and critical legal differences to consider.
In this course, you will dig deeper—and differently—into project management processes, tools, and techniques, developing the ability to see them through the lens of global and cultural project impacts. This will leverage you to problem solve differently on global projects, prevent problems, and ensure success. The goal is for you to effectively navigate the challenges of leading projects with multi-regional footprints and globally diverse sets of stakeholders.
