Course description

We have now completed project planning and integrating the outputs from each of the planning processes into a comprehensive project management plan.

Project execution is the third of five pm process groups that you will perform on most projects you manage. In this course we will actually perform project work.

It is recommended before taking the certification that you also use the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide, Fifth Edition to study with.
