About this class
The profession of project management, specifically digital and web project management, has recently become one of the hottest jobs in the tech market.
Many growing organizations have come to recognize the need for project managers in the wake of expanding operations and project teams. It’s not uncommon for designers and developers to find themselves cast in the role of project manager, even if many of these responsibilities fall well outside their job description.
