Learning the foundations of project management practices can help you deliver results for your projects. That's why the Project Management Institute (PMI) refers to project management skills, such as time management, communication skills, scheduling, and troubleshooting, as life skills. Project management practices help the L&D team establish a system for elevating their level of success. In this issue of TD at Work, Mary Beth Imbarrato:
