Workshop on Mastering Project Dynamics
Overview
Skills come by doing, not viewing. So here you’ll learn and try all you need to know
to successfully run projects in just SIX modules, plus a bonus exercise on the last day to apply everything you learn.
Who Should Attend
If you are new to managing and leading projects or you are a member of a project team, then this course is for you. It is a practical three-day course covering the essential aspects you need to know to initiate a project, plan correctly and execute effectively to produce on-time and on-budget delivery to the satisfaction of your senior management or customers.
Course Structure
The first two days of our Project Management Launchpad course gives you all the skills that you and your team need to get cracking together on projects back at work. But on the third day you’ll plan, run a project to produce a real deliverable, so you’ll have actual hands-on experience too.
