Project Management

Example Course Outline - duration 2 days

"Plans are worthless. Planning is essential"

Business Scenario
It isn’t just the effective control of processes that delivers the successful outcome to a project; it is principally the involvement of people and an intelligent marshalling of their contributions that makes all the difference. Good project managers need to be dynamic, responsive and focused in a way that wins their project influence and support from those in a position to make change happen.

Who should attend?
All Managers and staff delegated or assigned to undertake a substantial project within budget and on time.

The Purpose
After identifying and understanding the key characteristics of successful project management, delegates will plan these key skills into their respective project briefs.

The workshop includes:

The competencies required of a Project Manager
The three essential criteria for managing a project
The key stages of a typical project
Organising the project using charts and analyses
Constructing a responsibility matrix
Estimating, scheduling and budgeting
Conducting effective meetings
Introducing change
Influencing and delegating
Winning commitment during a presentation

The approach:
With group exercises, informal discussions, trainer presentation and video, delegates bring their own experiences and challenges and explore new behaviours to ensure a successful outcome to their project.
