Governance, risk & compliance

ISO 21502 Lead Project Manager

This course prepares experienced professionals to lead projects under the ISO 21502:2020 framework with clarity, control, and accountability. Participants learn how to structure governance, integrate management practices, and steer projects from initiation to closure in environments where executive oversight and delivery assurance matter. The training emphasizes decision making, trade offs, and real delivery constraints rather than abstract models. It is designed for professionals who already participate in projects and now need to lead them with confidence, consistency, and alignment to international standards.
