Course Overview
This two day workshop provides a comprehensive overview of project management techniques to effectively plan, manage, and control projects based on the standards of the Project Management Institute. Theory and practical examples of these methodologies are provided in an interactive format. Skills covered are immediately applicable to the job. Mastering basic project management skills, methodologies, and tools enable the participant to prioritize projects and workload, create realistic goals and recruit and manage high performing teams. Participants create a project work breakdown structure and are shown how to establish reliable project budgets and schedules, implement project tracking techniques, and create effective strategies to control the project budget, schedule, and quality. Both the technical and soft skill sides of project management are covered. 15 PDU credits from PMI are earned.
