Introduction:

Effective project management plays a central role in achieving organizational objectives, coordinating resources, controlling risks, and delivering outcomes within defined constraints. Managing projects across business and technology environments requires structured knowledge of project lifecycles, planning frameworks, stakeholder relationships, documentation, and governance responsibilities. This training program examines the core principles of CompTIA Project+, including project management concepts, lifecycle approaches, project planning, scheduling, resource management, and project execution. It also explores risk management, communication, change control, project documentation, and technology-related project considerations that support organizational accountability and project performance.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Analyze project management concepts, lifecycle approaches, and organizational governance requirements.

• Examine project planning frameworks, scheduling structures, resource allocation, and project constraints.

• Evaluate project execution, performance monitoring, quality management, and change control mechanisms.

• Assess project management tools, documentation requirements, and communication structures within technology environments.

• Identify project risk management, stakeholder coordination, and project closure requirements.

Target Audience:

• Project Coordinators and Project Administrators.
