Build support and manage teams

Build Support and manage teams is about building a team and managing it through its various stages of growth. It covers both teams set up for a particular project or to carry out a specific task and teams that are on-going. It is equally relevant to cases where the manager has to set up the team from scratch and to those situations where the manager inherits an existing team and need to help it to function effectively.

Manage a project is about managing a project for which you have been given responsibility. This involves developing and agreeing a plan for the project and monitoring and controlling implementation of and changes to the plan. It also involves ensuring that the project achieves its key objectives and is completed to the satisfaction of the project sponsor(s) and any key stakeholders.
