Description

Even for a modest-sized project, as a project manager you must control deadlines and be accountable for the use of resources and the allocated budget. Defining the optimal schedule for a project, being able to monitor its progress and providing key performance and progress indicators will be one of the keys to the success of your project. Through this internship, you will learn to control and communicate on the "cost, deadline, resources" parameters of the project in order to support the decisions of the steering committee.
