Description
Are you a beginning project manager looking to improve your project management and communication with your project team and stakeholders?
A one-page summary of your project is a MUST HAVE tool for anyone who engages in project management. We call this a "Project Charter." Use it to communicate with project sponsors, key leaders in the organization, and cross-functional project team members.
In this course, we walk you through our 1-page project charter template, provide project charter examples and explain key project management concepts along the way. You'll boost both your project management and business communication skills in no time!
