I learn how each project can be broken down into a clear process of assigned tasks, milestones, and deadlines, and how to delegate each component to an assigned task manager to manage stakeholder expectations .

Very good introduction to Project Management, I very much like how course correctly paint the role as a PM as generalised, meaning it can be applied to many industries, and is not necessarily industry specific.
