Excellent!

Eejoh Treeh

Excellent! I am an Architect working for an Architectural Design firm, Construction, and to a Property Developer. Currently, I am Managing Design "Design Manager" in a Property Developer company but do not have a define role to what my duties and responsibilities are. By taking this course, I learned tons of info about Design Management and its classification. Also, I have a clear and good understanding what type of a DM role I am. I highly recommend this course to everyone e.g. PM, DM esp. those aspiring Design Manager. I can't wait for the next course modules continuation!
