Information Technology (IT) project management is the process of managing the planning, organization, and accountability of IT projects for an enterprise. The scope of IT projects is most often large, with these projects being extremely complex.
The complex nature of IT projects can be attributed to the required response to rapidly changing technologies, with end-users demanding greater ease of use and flexibility. The magnitude of IT projects extends beyond applying knowledge, aligning skills, and using regular tools and techniques to drive a project to completion.
IT project managers deal with multiple challenges, including interdependent integrations, rapid technology upgrades, and version changes that can occur through project timelines. Another important and challenging aspect of IT project management is information security, which is also one of the prime checkpoints and indicators of a project’s success.
Information security refers to the protection of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of project information. In an effort to complete complex projects within the defined timeline and cost, and to stay competitive in the market, IT project managers may overlook some basic yet key factors to the success of a project. Thus, training to manage IT projects successfully is very important.
This Global Horizon training program will empower you with the complete knowledge and experience to independently handle and successfully manage IT projects for your organization. This will not only prove your credibility but will also lead to greater opportunities for undertaking higher roles and responsibilities within your organization, fostering growth and progression.
The experience and perspective gained through this training program will help you handle complex and challenging projects with ease, addressing and successfully mitigating risks in order to not affect the project outcome and help your organization stay competitive in the fast, dynamic technological space.
The main objective of this IT Project Management training program is to empower professionals with:
Detailed information and knowledge about successfully managing complex IT projects
The necessary confidence and experience to predict challenges and risks and address these to prevent impact on project outcomes

The foresight to predict competition and upcoming technologies and related changes in order to pre-empt changing customer demands and make features available in time, helping the organization stay competitive in the market
The confidence and experience to self-learn and upskill oneself to apply advanced techniques and concepts in managing and completing IT projects

The training method at Global Horizon Training Center is unconventional, in that practical learning is given more importance than theoretical training.
