| Case Study – Project Management | When you try to define project management, one definition you come across is "an effort to get something done where limitations of time, resources, and finances are real and where progress toward completion requires the integration of varied resources and skills." Along with this is the notion that if you ask several experienced project or construction managers how to manage a project effectively, you hear several underlying philosophies on how to complete the project. Each is valid in their own environment. This brings a third perspective. We are all managing in and affected by our unique work or corporate environments. The good news is that TMA’s Project Management module will help us get the job done in all these environments. It's all in the setup and what senior management wants/needs to hear. | Leach, R Brevard County Public Schools Web 1:00 Thu 10:00 |
