Project Management Training & Certification - PMD Pro 1 - Washington, DC

Overview

In the NGO world, most of the work is structured as a project or series of projects, with a prescribed beginning, middle, and end. NGO staff - whether programmatic or operational - are asked to use limited resources to define and set goals, organize, plan, and manage the project work, and deliver on time and on budget. The skills necessary to accomplish these goals are often complicated by the unique business culture of the non-profit, including funding cycles, organizational policies, frameworks and metrics, time zone differences, and variable staff skills. Our managers come to the table as technical or content experts, but may not have the necessary project management skills to achieve all of the project goals and objectives.

Project Management-PMD Pro 1 is a three day introduction to project management course for NGOs including test preparation and certification testing. The course covers the basic concepts, terminology, tools, and techniques of project management used by NGOs. You will learn how to plan, implement, evaluate and accomplish your work effectively and efficiently. Participants will build a solid foundation of project management knowledge in a hands-on workshop that covers the entire project life cycle. You will discover project management best practices so you can ensure that they are being followed at your organization.
