    Professional Standards for Value Management in Strategic Project Management

    The Strategic Project Management for Value Management and Improvement Practices class has a seminar approach that allows advanced or experienced project managers the opportunity to work with other managers in understanding best practices for projects on a strategic level. 


    The class works from the strategic nature of projects and the maturity of the organization by focusing on the place of projects as illustrated by ISO 21500 (the ISO’s Project Management Standard). This standard describes the relationship between the corporation’s operations and the projects and programs within the organization and the project life cycle. The seminar will also utilize the concepts and processes from the Project Management Institute®.
