In today’s public sector environment, delivering projects on-time and within budget while maintaining a focused project scope is increasingly expected. Strong project management skills are critical towards this end, but often employees lack the knowledge and training for effectively managing projects. Public sector projects are often subject to unique challenges not always found in private sector projects, such as conflicting and difficult to measure goals and outcomes, multiple stakeholders with varied interests, constraints imposed by administrative rules, policies and procedures, and are subject to political interests and close public scrutiny. Successful project management comes down to the effective management of the project scope, schedule, and budget.

• Understanding and applying skills, tools, and procedures needed to manage projects in the public sector.
• Developing and managing public sector project scope, budgets, costs, and schedules.
• Understanding the challenges and distinguishing characteristics of public sector projects.
• Leading, managing, and working successfully in project teams.
