Get your projects in on time, and within budget, by proper planning and then tight control. Discover that planning is quick, easy, and worth doing. Become confident in using PERT charts, Gantt charts, cost monitoring, etc.

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.

Clear specification of the job before you start
Finding the key driver - is it price, quality or time?
