Instructor: Frank G. Scarpaci Course Description Statistics consistently show that between 60-85% of all projects fail to meet time, cost, or performance objectives. In today's fast-paced environment, unprecedented demands on an organization place heavy demands on resources that are already stretched. Many organizations develop good strategic plans but when it comes to execution, they often underestimate the time involved, the resources needed, and the level of change management and employee coaching required. This workshop will help you learn basic project management concepts, tools and techniques to help your projects achieve great results. Instructor's Bio Frank G.
