Understanding Project Management

A Practical Approach to Making it Happen

Project Management is one of the most powerful, yet most under-utilized management techniques. Our Understanding Project Management training program is designed to give you the tools and strategies you need to improve your project management skills. This hands-on workshop features a logic-driven approach to planning that will dramatically increase the effectiveness of your project. This workshop is designed to promote cooperative team behaviour, regardless of the diversity of people, departments or technology involved, and integrates simulation and case study exercises. After attending this workshop, you will understand the fundamentals of successful project management and learn how to accommodate changes while maintaining control of the project.

This two-day workshop covers a range of topics, including:

• A new and practical perspective on what projects are.
• A framework that takes you from planning to implementation and review.
• Organizing cross-functional project teams.
• Project costing and tracking including the relationship to resource allocation.
• Techniques for ensuring a successful implementation.
• The project review process.
• The Survival Guide for Project Managers – a concise digest of the project management framework and key techniques.

Each participant receives a Project Planning Kit to support future planning sessions and a copy of the book Making It Happen: A Non-Technical Guide to Project Management. This course qualifies for credit with the Project Management Institute and Certified Management Consultant designation.
