You'll need to understand various aspects of project management, why managing stakeholders is so important, how to communicate effectively, what's expected of you, how to manage your time, critically analyze and examine problems, apply emotional intelligence to navigate conflicts, and much more.

TRIVIA TIME

The correct answer to last week’s trivia question: In project management, the triple constraints (also known as the Iron Triangle) refer to the three primary constraints that must be managed for successful project completion: Scope, Cost, and Time. These constraints are interrelated; a change in one often affects the others. Quality, while critically important, is not considered one of the triple constraints. Instead, it is an outcome influenced by how well the project manages its scope, cost, and time.
