This programme covers all the main techniques in a clear and structured way. The objective of the course is to show that almost everything you do in the workplace is a project, and that projects are worth managing properly. The best-practice techniques that we cover (PERT charts, risk analysis etc) are all related to practical examples so that their value can be clearly seen.
Subject areas covered:
- Why projects fail
- Clear specification of the job before you start
- Finding the key driver - is it price, quality or time?
- Structuring the tasks to be done
- Network charts, CPM, PERT
- PRINCE2 - what is it, and what are the pros and cons?
- Activity on node or on arrow
- Critical paths, and why they simplify management
- Float, and how to use it
- Load-levelling
- Risk analysis
- Monitoring and controlling project progress using Gantt charts
- Predicting final cost at completion
- Learning from the past - and not just you, or the team, but the whole organisation
