Description

The CompTIA Project+ course is designed for IT professionals who manage small projects. Flexible and comprehensive, it is not limited to a single project management methodology or model, but covers the fundamental concepts of IT project management.
During this course, you will learn the basics of project management, including constraints, communication and change management. You will also familiarise yourself with the tools and documentation needed to successfully complete a project, right through to its final phase, closure.
