You will be able to recognise the importance of organisational cultures and be able to interpret the various project organisation structures which you can effectively use for project success. You will also be able to identify the components of a project scope checklist and use a Work Breakdown Structure to divide your project into smaller tasks for effective delegation.

Last but not least, you will be able to relate how a project network diagram can help you can schedule and complete projects on time.
