TYNGSBORO, Mass. -- Boston University's Corporate Education Center announces the launch of its free online project management knowledge base. Boston University's project management knowledge base is for those business and information technology professionals and corporations that wish to advance their project management expertise or gain industry certifications.

The knowledge base features project management articles; frequently asked questions (FAQs); and guidelines for improving project management within an organization, pursuing a career in project management, and obtaining industry recognized credentials, such as the Project Management Institute's (PMI(R)) Project Management Professional (PMP(R)) and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM(R)) certifications. Boston University's project management knowledge base can be accessed at http://www.butrain.com/nl.asp?sid=720540.

"Organizations will not be able to compete globally without putting in place project management processes and continuing to develop their project managers to become leaders within the organization," states Gina Westcott, director of management development programs at Boston University's Corporate Education Center. "Technical skills are no longer enough. Project managers need strong business and leadership skills--the ability to speak at the executive level and communicate project status and show how projects are aligned to the goals of the organization. Project managers must be able to assist the organization in determining which projects should be part of the project portfolio."
