How Project Managers Can Effectively Set Expectations to Find Success

The construction industry in the U.S. is projected to add 410,700 jobs in the next decade (5.0% growth), outpacing the overall projected increase in total employment in the country (3.5%).

The residential construction industry, more specifically, is projected to add 34,200 jobs in that timespan. Breaking it down even further, project management specialists are in the Top 5 occupations by projected growth in the residential building sector.

Now is the time to hone project manager skills in an upcoming Nov. 12 live online course titled "Project Controls Fundamentals: Monitoring Scope, Cost and Time" from 1-4 p.m. ET

This course will teach you how to:

• Set clear project expectations,
• Monitor jobsite progress through field conditions, trade coordination and readiness checkpoints,
• Identify and address issues such as defects, homeowner concerns and warranty items,
• And document and communicate effectively using photos, handoff information and escalation paths
