Project Management
Overview
Most of us know how to get a project off the ground and will be familiar with the tools and techniques to help put a project plan together. However, most projects run aground because we fail to appreciate the many challenges that are quite often faced during the project life span. During this session, you will gain a detailed understanding of the structures and framework that support project management, as well as looking at the softer skills needed to ensure that projects are delivered on time and on budget. You will come away with the foundation, experience, techniques and tools to manage each stage of the project lifecycle and have a better understanding of project management, the role of the project manager and the related skills to be developed.
