The future of many organisations depends on their ability to manage projects, programs, and portfolios of projects. Skills in these areas continue to be in high demand. Have you ever been involved in a complex project that just did not go the way you wanted? Often failure is pre ordained due to the approach to the project. The concept of project management exists because it helps assure completion of a project successfully.
To help the project manager succeed in achieving their objectives, it is essential that all members of his/her team become aware of and use sound project management practices. This course is designed to provide participants with the rudimentary knowledge and skills that will enable them to support the planning, implementation, and monitoring requirements of their projects. It is intended to give participants an appreciation of the types and quantity of data that project managers require in order to keep a project within the confines of the triple constraints.
