Over the past two years, policy mandates have put the pressure on agencies to deliver products and services at lower contract cost. These same mandates emphasize increasing competition, fixed-price contracts and performance-based acquisition. In the shifting realities of government acquisitions, project managers at all levels must understand acquisition and procurement processes. This course is an introduction to federal acquisition as it pertains to project management.

The course teaches project managers about the full acquisition life cycle from planning and requirements development to administration and closeout, including managing performance-based service agreements. Participants will leave the course with a better understanding of the acquisition life cycle, roles of the key players within the acquisition team and how the acquisition process directly affects project success.
