IIM Kozhikode Professional Certificate Programme In Project Management

Regardless of industry size, project-driven or not, companies (core as well as ITES) can leverage project management capability into a competitive advantage by completing work on time and on the budget in an environment which reinforces alignment with organisational strategy.
