Business acumen for project managers

Why this matters for project managers

Most project managers deliver scope, schedule, and budget. The leaders who get tapped for bigger roles do something else: they tie their projects directly to business performance. This course gives you the frameworks, financial fluency, and practical tools to do exactly that.

You’ll be able to:
  • Link initiatives to the company’s strategic intent and KPIs
  • Read and discuss the numbers behind decisions
  • Use data to surface problems and choose the best path forward
  • Earn influence across functions and move work faster
