A project plan that ignores technology is already out of date the day it gets approved. From the feasibility study all the way to handover and closing, digital tools now shape every stage of a project's life cycle - and organisations that fall behind on this pay for it in cost overruns, missed specifications, and slower delivery.

Arab British Fellowship Training Academy offers this course in digital technology and business planning for project management to show how fast-moving developments in computing and software have reshaped project requirements, and to close the gap that often opens up between a project's cost, time and technical requirements, and the level of information and communications technology actually used to manage it.
