El curso tiene como objetivo presentar las herramientas modernas de planificación y gestión de proyectos de desarrollo con base a las mejores prácticas internacionales del Project Management Institute (PMI)® (PMI is a registered mark of the Project Management Institute, Inc.).

Se espera que esta capacitación fortalezca tus facultades de planificación y gerencia de proyectos y las de tu equipo. Con ello se busca que los programas bajo tu responsabilidad se ejecuten con un enfoque en resultados y considerando los riesgos identificados a través de la aplicación de prácticas y herramientas probadas de la gestión de proyectos. El curso costa de una fase virtual de 7 semanas integrada por 5 módulos de aprendizaje. Éstos, a su vez, se estructuran en unidades, cuyos contenidos se refuerzan con una serie de actividades individuales y grupales que realizarás con el acompañamiento de un tutor. Una vez completada esta fase virtual, cada equipo deberá preparar un trabajo final sobre temas prácticos abordados durante el curso.
