Description
It is overwhelmingly apparent that many experienced project teams frequently encounter major execution challenges, which can be caused by inadequate planning in the early stages and throughout the project life cycle. Execution Planning in the Built Environment directly addresses the resounding opportunity for improvement in project planning across industry sectors. This course covers these three complementary project planning and execution approaches, which incorporate improved collaboration, communication, alignment, and team culture:
