The leadership of the project revolves putting the processes in place to achieve the goals of the project.
- Communication: Effective project managers must have the ability to clearly communicate the requirements of the project to team members. They also must be able to communicate to the client how the project will progress and what the challenges are.
- Negotiation Skills are required at many stages of the project. This can mean having the ability to negotiate the financial terms of the project. Project managers also need to be able to manage conflicting interests in the project.

Course summary
This course covers some of the common project management methodologies, setting goals, and actually achieving them, identifying the need for a project to be started and using key project management tools. When a project is managed correctly it ensures that there’s a sound business reason for undertaking the project, that it’s clear who’s involved in delivering the project, what the expected outcomes are and how resources and risks will be managed throughout the project. When it’s done poorly the project can suffer from feature creep, delays, go over budget or not get finished at all.
