Project Management is a multi-faceted discipline that requires a multi-dimensional approach to learning. Project Managers must be able to work with a variety of technical tools to assist with their day-to-day workflow and must be able to lead teams with clear communication and composure. This adaptability—and years of PM experience—is what separates the highly effective Project Manager from the rest of the field.
