Participant Reviews
The training helped me structure my projects much more effectively. I particularly appreciated the clarity of the explanations and the practical workshops that gave me concrete tools I could use immediately.
I already knew some concepts, but this training helped me understand how to combine traditional and agile approaches. The concrete examples and hands-on practice made the content very practical.
I had little experience in project management, and this training gave me a solid foundation. Tools like WBS or Gantt charts were no longer just theory — now I know how to use them.
