Certificate Workshops

IT Project Management
Strengthen your IT project management skills through current information, case studies and project simulations. You will step through project management principles and the steps in closing a project. You will receive templates to use in creating project management processes back at the office.

Requirements Elicitation Methods and Models
Focus on how to define functions, attributes, constraints, preferences, and expectations from clients. Techniques to gather the requirements will start with Brainstorming and conclude with Reverse Engineering, with participants practicing at least five of the methods. This class is BABOK (Business Analysis Body of Knowledge) aligned.

Building 4-Dimensional Teams
Organizations that want to succeed need high performance teams. This class helps reveal each person's native dimension and how to assimilate the other dimensions to become well rounded and four-dimensional. A free assessment for each member highlights which of the eight behaviors needs improvement.

Communicating Projects Visually
People understand and remember better if information is presented visually. Yet most project information continues to be communicated verbally or in writing. In this workshop, you will discover the importance of visualizing project information and how to go beyond the standard Gantt chart to present it.

Process Mapping for Business Improvement
Use a wide range of mapping tools and techniques to find out how your business really works and where crucial improvements are needed.
