Course Description
Project procurement management is essential for projects that require the acquisition of goods or services external to the project. It provides the structure for more effectively managing procurement decisions and enhancing the quality of the project. Project managers will often need to leverage resources that are external to the team or organization. It’s important to ensure that the project’s needs are met during the procurement process, starting with the identification of a need to awarding the contract. Once a contract has been awarded, project managers monitor the performance of the contract and eventually close it. Navigating the organization’s procurement processes can be tricky.
