FranklinCovey's Project Management Essentials For the Unofficial Project Manager one day course will help participants complete projects successfully by teaching them to implement a disciplined process to execute projects and to master informal authority.

The skills of “informal authority” are more important than ever before, so team members are inspired to contribute to the project success! This course helps participants to understand that consistent project success depends on processes and people.
