In this course you will learn key project management concepts and tools, and how to apply them specifically to technical communications and knowledge management projects. This course is intended for contractors, senior technical writers, content and knowledge managers, and heads of technical writing departments who need to supplement their technical writing skills with project management skills. It would also be useful for engineers or project managers who have little experience with the special requirements of technical communications projects.

After completing the course you will be able to scope a technical communications project, schedule it, staff it, and complete it following industry best practices. (www.pr.viu.ca/techcomm/courses/pdpm001w.asp)
