Project Management Class

The U.S. economy would benefit greatly if more managers took a project management class and acquired the skills necessary to manage projects successfully.

About a quarter of the United States' gross domestic product (GDP), or about $2.3 trillion a year, is spent developing and delivering new products. Studies have shown that most of the money spent on such projects never produces a return on investment.

The reason only a small percentage of projects is completed successfully, we believe, is that the typical project leader has never taken even a single project management class.

Fortunately, project management skills can be learned. The Boston University Corporate Education Center (BUCEC) offers a project management class that will teach you the steps to follow to complete to ensure that your projects are completed on time and on budget.
