PDC79239 - Managing Time, Costs and Quality in Project Management
Overview
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 time, cost and quality outcomes are instrumental to the success of a project, and how they can be managed. Mainstream approaches for their planning and control are covered at a foundational level. The concept of the 'iron triangle' or ‘triple constraint’ will be outlined to conceptualise ways of identifying and managing the often-conflicting priorities of these constraints.
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.
