Why ENCE 605

Projects are now used by many organizations for the implementation of strategic initiatives. This means that project managers must be able to do more than manage, organize, and control. They must be able to lead the project team and its stakeholders through change. ENCE 665 is a required prerequisite – no exceptions!
