The “Untitled” Project Manager: An Introduction to Project Management

Project management is often cited as one of the key skills required for success in the environmental sector. At the same time, it’s also identified by employers as a skills gap. While technical knowledge is applied to complete the project, projects need to be well managed to allow technical knowledge and experience to be applied effectively.

Unfortunately, project management is not something that’s typically taught and is often learned on the job or left to those with the title of project management. This can lead to task failures and poor morale that could have easily been avoided.

In this webinar with the co-founder of Meridus, an organization dedicated to providing project management training for the environmental and engineering sectors across Canada, you’ll learn more about the essentials of project management. You’ll also see why it’s important for everyone in the team, including the “untitled” project managers to know the key concepts to ensure project success.

The following topics will be discussed in this project management webinar:

• Definition of key concepts, including “project”, “project manager”, and the “process of project management”
• Understanding the most essential element of a project, the task, and how this ties in with project management
• The biggest contributing factor of project failure
• Who are “untitled” project managers and why they are an unsung hero who is key to project success
• How understanding the importance of “untitled” project managers can accelerate your career
