Project Management Skills

Project Management is the process of planning, organising and managing specified tasks and resources within constraints such as scope, time and budget to complete a predefined business task.

Problem

Most people find it instinctive and easier to react rather than proactively plan and manage whether it be a professional or personal situation. Pro-active planning and managing requires a mature and intelligent attitude: the successful completion of projects depends on the ability of the person to demonstrate an array of professional and personal skills.

Solution

The people who plan find that the more they do so the luckier they get. This intensive 4-hour project management skills “bootcamp” enables candidates to identify the seven key planning factors for successful project management. They will gain an understanding of the principles of project management, learn how to identify the project life cycle and discover the optimum approach for successful completion. Role-play is used extensively in this workshop to allow candidates to practise all the techniques in a “live” situation.

Deliverables: by the end of the 4 hours candidates will be able to:

• Understand the principles and characteristics of project management
• Identify the project life cycle and the importance of planning & scheduling
• Understand roles, responsibilities and delegation
• Effectively manage people and resources
• Identify and minimise risk
• Communicate, build and decide for effective outcomes

Who should attend

Anyone who wants to learn the benefits of project management and gain the skills needed for both personal and professional success.
