More and more people are coming into contact with projects in the course of their careers, for example by being involved in restructuring projects or the introduction of new IT. Some are motivated by this to work on projects themselves or to develop into project managers.
In many industries, such as architecture and construction, and in business areas such as research and development, tasks or orders are generally handled in the form of projects and require appropriate project management skills from all those involved.
The number of people interested in training and further education in project management is increasing accordingly. The basic courses can be recommended to all people, as they support competent collaboration in project situations in any professional position. Anyone who wants to qualify for project management tasks on a full-time basis and perhaps develop into a top-class project manager should have some basic qualities that are needed in the project environment.
