A training on "IT for Non-IT Project Managers" would be appropriate for individuals who are involved in managing projects that involve IT components, but who do not necessarily have a technical background or expertise in IT. This might include project managers, team leaders, business analysts, product owners, or other stakeholders who are responsible for overseeing IT projects.
The training would be useful for individuals who need to understand the basics of IT concepts, terminology, and processes in order to effectively manage IT projects. It would also be valuable for those who need to communicate with technical team members, understand project requirements, and ensure that project deliverables meet business goals.
