Possessing an understanding of project management principles and practice is an increasingly sought after skill for public sector organizations focused on the delivery of citizen-centered results. The ability to manage staff, resources, clients, and stakeholders toward a specific objective is an increasingly important feature of the work of public servants in policy, regulatory or program initiatives. Projects large and small are an increasingly important factor in the ability of governments to delivery results aligned to their priorities.
