Description of the course

This is a two-day practical course that supersedes “Successful Projects”. In the course the methods of project work are explained and case studies and practical exercises used to aid understanding.

Delivering a project on time and within budget is often very challenging requiring a team to work in close co-operation with each other and with other members of staff. The phases of a project, and how these interlink, are clearly described with examples. The jargon of project work is explained and the techniques specific to project management are illustrated in an easy to understand way.

The course is run with small numbers to ensure every delegate gets maximum value from the programme.

It is the perfect course to help perfect the skills needed for successful project management.
