About Project Management
Project Management is a demanding but highly rewarding and varied career area, where you will initiate, plan, lead and deliver projects that could contribute to the success of an organisation.
Projects can be delivered across a diverse range of industries and can vary in complexity. They can be short, medium or long term and tend to make improvements within an organisation. Every project needs to be managed to ensure its success. An Associate Project Manager knows what needs to be achieved, how it will be achieved, how long it will take, how much it will cost, and works with the project team to achieve the required outcomes.
