With high-impact training

The Project Manager is completely responsible for cost control, contracts, changes and risk management.  That's a tall order.  Get the training you need for the position and set your project up for success.  

One of the most crucial responsibilities of a project manager is to perform a thorough buyout.  Part 1 of 6 in the course series reviews the buyout process, then establishes subcontracts, purchase agreements and purchase orders.  Key steps are discussed to prepare a subcontractor to begin work.  This early stage of the project requires attention to detail and patience, but will set the job up for success if performed well.
