In this postgraduate diploma, special emphasis will be placed on the Project Manager's management of key aspects of project development such as scope management and schedule management. The importance of controlling and managing the scope of the project in compliance with all the stages established by the main international entities recognized in project management will be analyzed.

Regarding the schedule, a precise analysis will be made of the entire process of creating and controlling the schedule, as well as its subsequent follow-up. In this sense, important terms such as baseline, critical path, acceleration plan or recovery plan will be discussed in depth.

Thus, by studying this postgraduate diploma, the professional will be able to control the management of the schedule in all its phases, acquiring the necessary skills to make relevant decisions for the development of the project in time and form.

In addition, we will thoroughly address the project manager's management of key aspects of project development, such as purchasing management and project resource management.

The importance of purchasing control and management will be analyzed, as well as the benefits for the project of carrying out a good purchasing cycle. On the other hand, the resources in the project will be studied, as well as the importance of optimizing them to the maximum.

Know the role of the project manager's approach in one of the key aspects to be taken into account such as cost control. Important points to be taken into account will be discussed in detail, such as: project margin, cash flow, earned value and earned term. We will also teach the necessary steps to carry out an adequate project cost control in order to make the project self-financing.

All this, throughout a 100% online training that provides the student with the ease of being able to take it wherever and whenever they want. You will only need a device with internet access, and you will be able to access a universe of knowledge that will be the main basis for engineers to position themselves in a sector that is increasingly demanded by companies in various sectors.
