Professional Project Management

Introduction

Project professionals continue to face mounting challenges in the successful delivery of projects. Limited resources and budgets place even stricter demands on project delivery time, cost and quality. Knowledgeable project professionals recognise that a major ingredient of project success is the development of a well-designed and dynamic project plan based on solid estimates of resource requirements and work durations, along with the ability to monitor and control the project effectively.

PROCLAD Academy’s Professional Project Management training course will significantly enhance the skills and knowledge of delegates and improve their ability to plan, manage, and control projects. Additionally, the course deals with the systematic identification and quantification of project risks, as well as the development of detailed risk treatment strategies to mitigate all relevant risks that may threaten the intended outcomes of the project.

The key features of PROCLAD Academy’s Professional Project Management training course are:

• Integrating scope, time, resources and cost management into a dynamic, manageable plan
• Developing project network diagrams for CPM and advanced PERT calculations to identify schedule and cost risks
• Measuring, forecasting and controlling project performance by employing earned value techniques
• Using qualitative and quantitative methods to assess the exposure of the project to particular risks in real and measurable terms
• Managing and mitigating schedule, cost, scope, and resource risks associated with the project
• Identifying the most appropriate contract arrangement for the work to be performed on the project
