 Project change is inevitable. Do you know all of the ways a change in one area, such as cost, would affect another project area, like the project's schedule? Successful project managers are able to integrate and control change throughout their projects. In this course, you'll learn how to manage change from the planning stages through to project closeout. This course is aligned with "A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK® Guide) 2000 Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®).
