Applied Learning Project

Throughout the specialization, learners will be introduced to the concepts of project management. You will learn the formal project management process which includes tools that are commonly used in the discipline. Learners will have an opportunity to apply these tools to manage a small “virtual” project. Upon completion of the specialization, learners should have the basis for a comprehensive final project plan.
