Project Management Course

Project management is an intrinsic part of working life. Although not formally in Project Management roles, many people lead and manage projects on a daily basis whether it be running an event, hiring a new member of staff, or collaborating to produce a report or service.

Many in this position have not had any training to develop the skills required to manage projects effectively.

For most of these people, a formal certification course requires a considerable time commitment and is not necessary for the job role.

This course aims to bridge the gap by delivering the key elements of formal certification courses, but in a shorter format and with an increased emphasis on practical tips to drive performance.

This 1 day Project Management Fundamentals course is led by a certified PMP Project Management consultant, with years of experience managing projects of all sizes in various industries

During the day, you will learn the tools and processes to organise your project and to drive its performance. You will:

• Learn the responsibilities of a Project Manager, and how a good project manager uses consistent processes to deliver superior project performance
• Understand the difference between ‘linear’ and ‘agile’ project lifecycles, and alternative approaches to managing them (Gantt chart vs Scrum board).
• Understand to use planning tools to define the project and avoid scope creep
• Managing uncertainty: develop a risk management plan for your project, and learn how to use ‘scenarios’ to plan alternative pathways
• Learn tools to enhance the quality of the team’s contributions to meetings and tools to enhance engagement levels in a virtual meeting
