This course teaches project managers essential negotiation and conflict management skills. Project managers are often in the position of having accountability without formal authority. They may be held responsible for the success or failure of projects executed by people who do not report to them. They may or may not have control of the project budget. Members of their project teams are likely to have conflicting priorities. They themselves may be managing multiple projects. Time, money, material, and people are often in short supply. For all of these reasons, project managers have to be skilled negotiators and conflict managers to be effective in their roles.
