I recently completed the 'Project Planning Fundamentals' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a valuable learning experience. As a project coordinator in the UAE, I was looking to gain a deeper understanding of project planning principles and practices, and this course provided a solid foundation. The course content was well-organized and covered key topics such as project scope, schedule, and budget management. I appreciated the emphasis on stakeholder management and communication, which are critical skills for any project professional. The course materials were good, although I would have liked to see more examples from the Middle East region. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, and I would recommend it to others who are looking to improve their project planning skills. One suggestion I have is to include more case studies from the UAE or other Gulf countries to make the course more relevant to our local context.
