3194 - PM Skills®: Critical Thinking and Decision Making
Course Description
To efficiently lead projects, project managers need more than tools and techniques—they need skills that allow them to assess data and information and to make the most appropriate and effective decisions possible. They need to ask the right questions that will help them diagnose problems and make the right choices to propel teams to successful outcomes.
This self-paced, fully online course will guide learners through a systematic decision-making process for making carefully considered choices and reaching fully examined conclusions. It will help to refine and develop critical thinking and reasoning skills that will enable project leaders to assess options, generate plans of action, and put their teams in positions to succeed.
