Online training: Organising the initiation of technical projects carefully and efficiently

Knowing and keeping an eye on all relevant influencing factors right from the start
Technical projects have a particular level of complexity with high requirements. In order to ensure that you achieve your project goals, you need to be clear about how and which goals need to be defined and which stakeholders you need to involve right at the beginning in order to initiate your project in the best possible way. But how can a project be structured in a meaningful way? And which factors have a significant influence on the course of the project? 

The approx. 30-minute self-study unit "Organising the initiation of technical projects carefully and efficiently" teaches you the essential basics of project management in a practical way using an example project from industry.

In addition, all tools and documents presented in the online training are available for download free of charge on our LMS platform!
