Certificate workshopS

Successful Project Management
Learn techniques for planning, implementing, and completing projects to produce desired results on time and within budget. You will use project management tools to set and achieve measurable objectives, estimate project time and costs, determine project scope, manage resource requirements, and control project results. Learn by doing as you actually plan, execute and control a project simulation.

Microsoft Project
MS Project has millions of users but most don't unlock the potential of this sophisticated software. Each student works in real project files on their own PC to gain the skills and techniques to use this powerful software to their advantage.

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.
