Principles and Techniques of Project Management
Duration
3 days
Course Cost: $1,595.00
Overview
This newly designed 3 day workshop integrates both the "hard" and “soft” skills essential for effective project management. Through a dynamic, interactive and accelerated learning environment, this course focuses on strategies for:
Project Managers requiring specific techniques for planning and controlling projects.
Project clients, sponsors, and other key stakeholders to appreciate important decision-making phases and processes.
Team members to gain knowledge of various techniques to contribute to project success and common project language and conventions.
PM Principles and Techniques has been designed to simulate a project through the 5 PMBoK process groups – initiation, planning, execution, control and close-out. Stimulating exercises in small groups reinforce key concepts, tools and techniques you can apply immediately to your job – along with insights you’ll need to adapt them to specific project environments. Participants will be equipped with a variety of templates and self-assessment tools to support class presentations and provide useful reference material in the real work environment.
