Overview

The Framework is designed to teach practical project management skills-the skills needed in today's dynamic environment to successfully define, plan and manage projects. This 2 day course teaches a step-by-step process for planning and managing projects of any size.

Establish Solid Project Management Fundamentals

It is important to learn why an effective Project Management process is essential for success in today's project-driven environments. The project manager also needs to obtain a clear understanding of communication pitfalls and fundamental communication practices to facilitate successful project planning and management.

Start the Project by Clearly Understanding What the Project is All About

Acquire the knowledge and hands-on practice of defining and organizing a project, ensuring that all stakeholders have buy-in, appropriate participation in, and a consistent understanding of, the project outcomes. Practice the methodology for reducing "scope creep".

Develop a Successful Project Plan

Project planning can be a daunting task without a proven, communication-oriented process. The project manager needs to use best practices for planning project work: identifying what work needs to be accomplished, sequencing the work, and applying time and cost estimation processes and techniques.

Monitor & Control the Project

Many project teams stop planning once the initial schedule is completed. The advanced nature of project management becomes apparent during the execution of a project. Project Managers need to learn processes and techniques that allow them to keep the project on track while dealing with emergent issues and opportunities.
