Team Building and Leadership in Project Management

Microsoft concentrates on the people who deliver a project. Team development and dynamics provide a framework for comparing leadership styles and building collaboration. It is a focused complement to planning and scheduling courses for learners who want to understand the team conditions behind delivery.

What you will learn

• Describe stages of team development.
• Compare leadership styles in project contexts.
• Connect team-building decisions with project objectives.

Who this suits

Learners interested in project teams and leadership, regardless of earlier project-management experience.

Before you enroll

Allow time to create and review project documents, beyond the lesson videos. A course completion certificate is separate from a professional certification exam. Adapt the methods to your project’s size, delivery approach and constraints rather than copying every template unchanged.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Prepare a fictional team kickoff with role clarity, communication expectations and a method for raising issues before they affect delivery.
