Project Management for Engineers Online Workshop

Our Project Management for Engineers online workshops are periodically scheduled for small groups, as a series of two, 3-hour sessions with a workshop leader who has an extensive engineering leadership background. A key aspect of our project management workshops is a facilitated action plan, where each participant concludes with a draft plan for achieving business goals. A series of exercises aids in determining priorities.

Real-world product development examples and case studies are used extensively to reinforce key learning points. Since 2002, thousands of engineering leaders have benefitted from the relevant examples, experienced instructors, and the practical approach centered around facilitating plans that are immediately actionable.
