Successful project management

Avoid stumbling blocks in projects

This training is held in German.
Project management methods are seductive. It is easy to assume that projects can be led to success through meticulous planning and control alone. However, the dynamics and complexity of a project constantly present you as a project manager with new challenges. You have to deal with stumbling blocks and changes that can quickly cause your project to go awry. This training helps you to avoid typical mistakes, identify the most important success factors, recognize potential problems at an early stage and react accordingly.
