Who is your hidden project manager?  This is the class for them! A hidden project manager is an employee who is often tasked with creating a new product, service, process, or outcome for your organization. You have selected this person because of their leadership and organizational skills. They likely do not hold the title of “Project Manager”. Nonetheless, they perform project-related tasks while facing the challenges of budget and schedule constraints and competing stakeholder needs.

The course includes 18 hours of live instruction and supplemental learning materials. For HR professionals, this course provides 16 SHRM/HRCI recertification business credits. Upon completion candidates may also choose to sit for the CompTIA Project+ certification at a discounted rate. For more information see the “What’s Included” section below.
