Course Outline
This highly interactive workshop uses a short generic case-study to enable delegates to gain an understanding of well proven techniques in the areas listed below. It provides a firm foundation for further development of project management skills through self-reading, more advanced training and practical hands-on experience.
Project Management Overview
Delegates are introduced to the world of projects and why it is beneficial to adopt a formal project management approach. The course will also look at the various project roles and responsibilities that may exist.
Concept Phase
We will identify a number of internal and external factors that might trigger the need for new projects before looking at the stakeholders who could be impacted. The course then identifies tools and techniques used to evaluate whether a project is feasible or not.
Defining the Project
The definition phase is often where the project manager is heavily involved and we look at a structured approach for creating a project plan that will include scope, time and resource requirements. We briefly discuss quality management before focusing on the identification, analysis and mitigation of risks.
Implementing the Project
Delegates will understand how the baseline plan can be used to monitor progress and also to control changes that may be requested by stakeholders during implementation. We will then discuss how the project manager may try to keep team members motivated throughout the project.
Project Handover and Closeout
The day concludes with a short session on how the project deliverables can be effectively handed over to the customer or the business. Delegates will also begin to understand the importance of capturing lessons for action on future projects.
