Course description

The MSP® Practitioner course builds on the Foundation and teaches you to actively apply the methodology to real-world situations – i.e. to choose the right approach, technique or MSP® document according to the specific context of the program. While the Foundation verifies that you know the terminology and processes, the Practitioner verifies that you can use them in practice on a model program with variable inputs.
