The focus of this course is on the process of managing projects. After planning is done, we need to know how to successfully execute the plan and deliver within the allocated timeframe and cost. This course will focus on how execution and progress evaluation are performed in a waterfall approach, as well as the agile approach to project management. The goal is to learn the tools and techniques offered by both approaches and empower project managers to use what works for a given project. This course will also help you apply artificial intelligence to support project managers during the project execution and control phases.
