Learn the fundamentals of project management and entrepreneurship

The classes will train you on how to build a business plan from scratch, the business model of a start-up or the financial evaluation of new projects.

In the ‘Project Management Fundamentals’ module you will learn the basics of project management: fundamental concepts, different approaches, budget planning and control, initial financial decisions needed to launch a project and stakeholder analysis, among other important aspects.

And in the module ‘Project Planning’ you will be trained in the planning processes of the Project Management Body of Knowledge. Commonly known as PMBOK, this is a collection of processes, best practices and guidelines that are considered standard in the field of project management. 

Develop your project management skills

Once you have completed these first training blocks, the ‘Project Execution’ module is designed to instruct you in the process of executing any project, such as the organisational aspects that need to be taken into account, the management skills on site, or the strategies and negotiation techniques that are needed.

People, equipment, resources, physical spaces, etc. At the end of this course, students will be able to perfectly manage this basic chain.

As a project manager, you will also have to acquire your own working method. That is why the last module of this postgraduate course is ‘Project Management Tools and Techniques’. If you haven’t heard of techniques such as Agile or Scrum, you will learn about them here. The same with Capability Maturity Model Integration or CMMI, a model designed to update and evaluate the development of systems.
