Project Management in Action

Introduction

This course would suit anybody, from any industry, who would like to learn sound project management skills and be able to apply them in the process of running smaller projects effectively.

Other Courses

Those who are looking to learn about the basics of project management, pick up some usable hints and find ways of making basic projects work will benefit greatly from this one-day course, An introduction to Project Management. Click on the link to view this course.

Staff working with larger projects, and who will need to comply with the complexities of larger or multiple teams will benefit from the third option, Project Management Expanded. As well as practical project management guidance, those who attend this three-day course will also gain an insight into PRINCE2, the de-facto standard for running government projects and a methodology favoured by many blue-chip organisations.

Course Purpose

Businesses manage many projects ranging in size from smaller projects where the project teams are made up of individuals who often work together to reach common goals to the more complex project where teams are made up of third party contractors, specialists and individuals who will be drawn together in a project environment for the first time.

Each course will result in delegates being able to manage projects to the required standard, while managing a balance between time and budgetary controls.

Solving the Dilemma

Every company has projects, some big, some small, but always important. Sometimes a company will undertake something major such as a premises move, the installation of a new computer system, or perhaps the winning of ISO 9000 accreditation.

Project failures are all too common. Some make the headlines, but the vast majority are quickly forgotten along with the reasons which are many and varied. This is where an experienced Project Manager can help.

If your company have projects on the go, or intends to embark on a sizeable venture it makes good sense to invest wisely. Training your staff and allowing them to make a difference is the best solution. These training courses will provide you and your organisation with the solution you are looking for.
