Many Nigerian professionals aren't aware that they could gain a lot of advantages by merely receiving project management skills. In case you're wondering what is project management - as the name implies managing a project from conception to execution. That simply means from the moment an idea for a project is born till the moment the idea eventually becomes a reality. All the steps involved in managing this falls under project management.

Project management is not only for engineering or management professionals, it cuts across all fields as there is project management in every thing we do be it building a house to starting a business or even planning a concert. That brings to mind the second question - what is a project?

A project is a collection of tasks. A task is an activity that is designed to achieve a definite objective. Without taking much more time here are 5 ways project management skills can boost your career.

1) Improve your productivity

With project management skills you can achieve better results and faster on your job making you a more desirable employee.

2) Boost your Chances for better Opportunities

If you want to cross over to another field or job what are your odds of scaling through? Well that depends on many factors but your chances of moving on to a more lucrative job is enhanced when you can handle projects effectively.

3) Earn More

Do you know project management certified professionals earn more money than those who don't have it? Check the labour market pay figures and find out for yourself.

4) Help develop Nigeria

In Nigeria we're in need of expertise, unfortunately most people who handle big projects in this country are expatriates as few Nigerians haver required skills to manage huge projects. What stops government from hiring you to handle a major project if you have the required skills?

5) Become more versatile

Due to the nature of project management people skilled in it tend to have an eye for the big picture. So they may not have the technical skills or knowledge for a project yet they can manage it efficiently.

Still at a loss on what to do to boost your career? You now know don't you?

Good luck!

pro01: How important is numeracy in acquiring project management training? Is it necessary to have maths skills to successfully learn and implement project management?

I hope someone answers this question. I myself I am pondering which professional course i register for. Problem is that I'm average in mathematics, I've always been average in mathematics since my primary school days and sometime detest maths. Now most professional course seems to be calculative intensive and the last thing I want is to find myself studied a professional course where I struggle with the numerical section of it. Any advice or insights from peeps here will be appreciated.

Pls can u recommend a reliable outfit for this certificate programme in lagos? Thanks

Not necessarily anyone can learn project management regardless of their numeracy skills.
