Program Introduction
Project Management is an emerging profession operating in an increasing range of industries. As projects become more complex, and as more organizations move to management by projects, there is an increasing demand for competent project managers. Surprisingly, many small and large projects go wrong. The question is: why do they go wrong? Most of the answer has little to do with project size or degree of complexity, but a lot to do with project planning and control. The cause of project failures can often be traced back to poor project definition, planning or control.
Having projects successful is key in project management. Actually, there is nothing more important to the success of a project than making ‘good’ informed decisions. This technical skill is certainly crucial, yet few managers have had formal training in decision-making and project management. This course provides you with the training you need to manage your projects more efficiently. The course adopts a managerial perspective with an analytic rather than prescriptive emphasis. It also takes into account both the human and technical sides of management.
This seminar presents insights into:
- Understanding planning
- Development of project goals
- Translating goals into a schedule
- Knowledge of Project Economic Evaluation
- Understanding and handling project risk
Program Attendees
This course is intended for individuals who want to hone their project management skills. So whatever background you have (i.e. engineering, information technology or business), this course will cover both fundamental principles and modern tools of project management.
