Overview/Description
Most project managers have experienced the synergy of a well-functioning project team. When such a team exists, a project seems to run itself. A few of the secrets to a project's success include building a project team through obtaining the necessary human resources, developing team competencies, and monitoring performance to boost project performance. Project Human Resource Management is concerned with acquiring, cultivating, and overseeing human resources on projects. This course focuses on the inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of acquiring, developing, and managing a project team. Through interactive learning strategies and real-life scenarios, the learner will explore these concepts and gain a better understanding of the Project Human Resource Management processes. This course is aligned with "A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK® Guide) - Third Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), Inc., 2004.
