Custom Project Management Workshops

Managing the Process

 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.

 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.

 Visual Controls for Project Managers
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.
