Description

To a great extent, project management boils down to managing project finances. It is important that a person responsible for overall project performance not only understand and properly interpret financial figures, but also be an expert in using techniques for financial management.
In today's world of increasing competition and focus on corporate earnings, project managers are held accountable not just for achieving technical and schedule goals, but also for meeting profitability and other financial goals. This course explores the financial metrics that are commonly used and examines the not-so-obvious financial impact of typical operating decisions and actions. Building on competencies developed in the core management curriculum, you'll examine the inner mechanics of how finance and accounting can impact your project.
