All three skill sets of the Project Management Institute Talent Triangle are addressed: Technical Project Management, Leadership, and Strategic and Business Management and provide a foundational project management knowledge and skill base that is highly relevant to workplace project challenges. Emphasis is on blending hard and soft skills to realize superior project outcomes.
