(Seminar)


This seminar deals with the central project management issues and provides the associated methodical knowledge on the basis of practical examples.

Practice approved approaches are presented and alternative routes to the project objectives are discussed. Since these alternatives are valuable only if the right decision-making criteria are applied, decision-making procedures will be trained too.

Some of the project management tools are explained, some are tested.

Even seminar participants, without practical experience will succeed entring into the world of project work, thanks to the practical and interactive design.
