Course Description

Project compliance can feel daunting, no matter the project or the organization. Even small projects can have a variety of considerations that can overwhelm smaller companies, and large projects introduce new layers of risk and coordination. Any organization or project will benefit from following general best practices for project compliance. Stakeholders are incredibly important entities in the project compliance process as they can have different levels of compliance ownership, responsibility, and engagement. Stakeholder-centered best practices help you manage these diverse groups. Determining the best approach to compliance is another best practice; if you take the time to evaluate your options and pick the right one, you’ll set yourself up for success. While planning sets the stage for compliance management, audits and quality control ensure that you’re managing compliance requirements and that compliance deliverables meet the acceptance criteria.

In this course on Project Compliance Best Practices, you will learn about how to successfully engage stakeholders and how this can impact project compliance. You’ll explore how to align your compliance strategies with project planning, and you’ll discover how to use compliance audits and quality control processes to effectively manage project compliance. By the end of this course, you will be able to implement the best practices, tools, and techniques into your project compliance framework.
