Project Management
Workshop
Overview
Designed to help delegates learn how to
set-up, structure, plan, and organise projects. In particular, to
scope a project and create a project scoping plan. It is suitable
for all types of projects and links to delegate's work/projects. Workshops generally follow the framework:
-
Day 1 Project Management Approaches
and Techniques
In the first day we cover the project
management approaches and techniques. This includes establishing
objectives and a project mission, structuring projects into
stages, project planning and control techniques, and project
organisation.
-
Day 2 Scoping and Implementing in
Practice
A complete change of style. The morning is spent with delegates working in three
syndicate groups; scoping, planning and organising a real project selected by
the syndicate. This is practice on real work. All the approaches from the first
day are used in this. The afternoon concentrates on implementation, particularly risk
management.
Key points are:
-
It is highly
practical, is suitable for all types of projects and links to
delegate's work/projects.
-
It is completely
compatible with both PRINCE2 and the OGC framework, but is not
bureaucratic.
-
It is very compact -
we cover in two days what others take three days to cover.
