the vision with such clarity that it can be implemented, is
the critical factor in making change happen for directors

cross-functional projects and makes them professionals in their

difficult projects. At this level project management is as much

project
practitioner Most project managers
learn on-the-job. This level of development gives these intuitive
project managers the skills and capability they need to safely
manage moderately complex projects. The interactions are practice

experiences. It provides tools and techniques to run projects
successfully with understanding and confidence by exploiting
the key disciplines of project management.

managers.
