The practice of project management is becoming critical to the success of many development, government, and nonprofit organizations (NGOs). With reduced budgets and increased demands from donors and other stakeholders, organizations need to incorporate the tools and practices of modern project management in order to achieve the expected results. Embracing and integrating formalized project management within an organization involves more than merely completing a training program. To be successful, organizations need to support project management from the top down and create a flexible framework consisting of practices, competencies, and techniques scaled to their specific project demands.  Project Development Planning offers a unique program in project management that allows development managers to become more accomplished, qualified, and efficient in their fields.
