From organizing a party to managing a large construction project and from the implementation of a new software in an organization to the coordination of a marketing campaign, projects require knowledgeable and skilled professionals who understand the concepts of project management and who can apply the practices that will drive the project towards success. This course presents the guidelines for project management of the international standard ISO 21502:2020 to help you understand how a project can be planned, initiated, directed, controlled and closed with the aim of delivering the expected outcomes and achieving its objectives.The structure of the course includes 5 sections, generally following the structure of ISO 21502.The first section is an introductory one where the discussion focuses on what is project management and what is the history of project management, which are the standards published by ISO on the subject of project, programme and portfolio management (the ISO 21500 series of standards) or what is the structure and purpose of ISO 21502:2020.Then, the next section of the course is about project management concepts.
