Project and Product Management

Designated Project Manager (Project Management for the Non-Project Manager)

Designated Project Manager

Around 500 BC, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus declared, "There is nothing permanent except change."  

In today's uncertain business environment, change is happening at a record pace. You may be required to do more with less, entrusted with new responsibilities and thrown into unfamiliar situations. 

Arm yourself with the interpersonal and organization skills required to absorb more project management responsibilities. USF’s Designated Project Manager (Project Management for the Non-Project Manager) course will prepare you to embrace your new role and shepherd jobs to completion.
