Project Procurement Management

Course Description

Many project managers manage projects where some or all of the resources are external to the organisation, and their relationship to the project is defined by a legal contract of some sort. Project managers must learn to act in an effective, positive and safe manner in such an environment.  This course is based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) to managing projects.  (PMI is the author and owner of the PMBOK® Guide titled “A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge”).  This is a global standard of best practice which covers most aspects of managing a project. However, this particular course focuses on the problems of managing contract resources.
