Project Management has become a need for any company to survive in these fast-changing times. Successful projects drive companies and determine their success over other companies.

The Project Management Tools and Techniques course starts with evaluating where projects come from and how projects are selected. This is followed by definitions of important terminology every project manager should know about and after the introduction of the project management process and life cycle, the project is divided into 10 logical steps that will help you to make your projects a success.
Projects and the Project Management environment change constantly. Project Managers have to adjust to these changes constantly. Since the industry went “lean”, the lean revolution also influenced projects and project management. Lean principles have changed the way projects are done today. Project Management was typically done in a deterministic way, using waterfall, and that lead to problems in many projects. A deterministic approach is NOT flexible and changes are discouraged, complex and even avoided even when they would be necessary. The deterministic approach has led to project disasters in a specific type of project. In an adaptive approach, lean approach, projects are managed differently, there is more freedom to manage changes.
In Project Management Tools and Techniques, both waterfall, agile, and kanban are discussed and compared. You will understand how to apply these principles in your projects to increase success. The tools and techniques presented in the course can be used in waterfall and agile environments.
