Overview
About the program
For people who already run projects, with or without the title. The program gives you the methods to plan, control and close a project, and to lead the team that delivers it.
The Project Management program is designed for people who already work in the field. It covers project planning and scheduling, cost and budget control, risk management, quality in projects, leading project teams, and ends with procurement and contracts.
Like every Madison program, it is built for working adults. Courses you already master through your work are tested and recorded with a grade; the rest you study online, at your own pace, with tasks carried out in your own workplace.
In preparation. This program is not open for enrollment yet. It opens when its curriculum and courses are in place on the learning platform.
