Practical project management

Why this training

Project management is a language. This training course teaches this language in a very interactive way. We believe that this training provides the required fundamentals for anyone involved in project management.

Learning goals

• Confidently work in a project management team and understand the project management slang.
• Be a project manager.
• Apply the most common project management techniques.

Sections

The course is organized around the different process groups of the project management life cycle being initiation, planning, execution, monitoring & control and closure. Within the process groups planning and monitoring & control, we will go through all knowledge areas (scope, time, resource, cost, risk, communication) within project management.

Learning method

Research shows that doing (and not listening) is the most effective way of learning. Bearing this in mind, this course will not be a typical lecture. The participant of this course will learn project management tools & techniques by applying them on a case during an interactive role play. During the course, the demanding project owner (i.e. trainer) will place the participants in challenging project situations.

Target audience

Starting project managers or project professionals and experienced project managers who want to have a more solid theoretical basis.
