An IT project combines technical work with decisions about value, scope, responsibilities and delivery. These courses approach that combination from three useful positions: a broad introduction to roles and lifecycles, day-to-day coordination across expectations and risks, and the developer’s view inside a software project.
Choose the perspective that is least familiar. A technical specialist moving toward coordination may need a different course from a new project professional learning how an IT team works.
