Project Management Training for Managers

What are the essential components required to set up and manage your projects to successful completion, on time and on budget?

What will set you on the right track and where are the common pitfalls?

Overview

Designed specifically for Managers who need to manage projects

This Introduction to Project Management Workshop is designed to be a distilled view of how to deliver your projects successfully and what common things to look out for which can make your project fail. It will provide a simple checklist to quickly assess your current project, and help you understand what is involved for kicking a new project off on the right footing.

The workshop will take a run through a typical project lifecycle and periodically stop to dwell upon some of the important areas that can affect the success of your project. Then, a walkthrough of the day in the life of a project provides a different perspective of what management and quality controls should be in place in some form for every project.
