Project Management: A Practical Approach

 

Learn how to manage your projects successfully with practical skills such as project planning, scheduling, tracking, change management and reporting.

This introductory two day workshop also emphasizes
the importance of working
with people to clarify expectations, define roles,
and build commitment.


The first day is an overview of
the topic areas. The second day is a practical case project starting at initiation, through planning, execution, and control to closure for practice in applying the skills learned.

Topic areas:

  • What are: projects, project management, and project managers,
  • Know the destination: scope definition,
  • Laying a route: work breakdown structure, schedule, and risk,
  • The human side: resources, responsibilities, and relationships,
  • Making headway: controlling scope, reporting progress.
