About This Course

The Sustainable Project Management course provides learners with comprehensive education and training on best practices for managing projects in a sustainable and regenerative manner. Through the integration of case studies and examples from the construction industry, learners will gain a deep understanding of project management fundamentals, including the triple constraint, product scope vs. work scope, stakeholder engagement, and budgeting and monitoring.

This course stands out by emphasizing sustainable project management best practices based on the GPM P5 Standard. Learners will explore environmental considerations related to People, Planet, Profit, Product, and Process. By adopting the Projects Integrating Sustainable Methods (PRISM) approach, learners will acquire the skills to effectively manage the entire project life cycle while seamlessly integrating it with their organization’s existing practices.

Additionally, learners will develop the ability to identify and mitigate risks in crucial areas such as carbon emission reduction within supply chains, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) hiring practices, minimizing the project’s impact on local ecosystems, and creating positive local economic impacts. This course empowers learners to make informed decisions that promote sustainability across all aspects of construction project management.
