Overview

Have you ever wondered why good communication is important to the success of a project? Do you want to delve a little deeper into this topic and explore common forms of communication and risk reduction strategies to minimise unclear communication during the life of your project?

In the world of Project Management, projects are first and foremost seen as investments of time and resources in order to achieve a specific goal. This goal may be financial, social, environmental, or a combination of any of these. As with all investments, stakeholders require some degree of certainty about the outcome.

This online micro-credential addresses this need by discussing why communication is of utmost importance in a project environment and how it is best conducted. Interpersonal attributes of a successful Project Manager, as well as the most common forms of communication strategies used for successfully managing teams and stakeholders, are covered at a foundational level.

This is a non-creditable micro-credential which is awarded a digital badge and Certificate of Completion which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio. A digital badge is an indicator of accomplishment or skill that can be displayed, accessed, and verified online

Our micro-credentials are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
