Communication plays an important role in every job, but it is the primary focus of the project management position. While most project managers don’t get a degree in communication, they used to learn communication tactics by practice, reading books, and following quality courses or training programs. Along this course, you will learn how to be an assertive person, a good negotiator, and a communication strategist.

This Project Communication Strategies course adopts a practical hands-on approach to help you explore the recipe for success when interacting with your project stakeholders. The goal of this course is to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to effectively communicate with your project stakeholders, build trust, and develop a sound communication plan.
