Making projects work
If you have experience of working in or managing projects, and wish to improve your capability to plan projects for success and manage effectively against the plan, then this course is for you!
What are the course objectives?
This course will develop your understanding and experience in the application of a number of key techniques and approaches vital to effective project management. Its structure encourages the use of methods and tools learned on the course in your work environment, and for reflection and reinforcement of the learning and experiences.
What content is covered?
The purpose of this workshop is to help make you an effective project manager, who is able to manage the delivery of a product with a degree of expertise, using disciplines of project management with understanding and confidence. The course focuses on challenges associated with the delivery and implementation of new processes, services and products.
You will discover how the application of a disciplined approach to the running of projects significantly reduces the risk of failure. As a result of attending this workshop, you will be able to plan effectively, focus on project achievement, and better manage the expectations of senior stakeholders.
What are the key topics?

- Planning for success
- Forming and managing the team
- Managing the requirements
- Communicating the project
- Actioning the plan
What is the course format?
Through discussions, videos and group activities, the first module supports you through the process of developing a credible project plan. The second module exposes you to the three most common project problems associated with scheduling, resourcing, and scoping. Using the ‘say, show, do’ approach, appropriate responses are analysed.
The two modules are separated by 4-6 weeks, which allows the learning and personal impact to be considerably enhanced. It allows you to try out the ideas on your projects and come back to discuss what to do next.
During and after the workshop we encourage you to contact the CITI facilitator to discuss your projects and how to implement techniques. This supports the learning and is particularly effective when you are working in isolation.
What is the duration and cost of the course?
3 days and 2 days, separated by a one month gap.
Cost
£2,100 plus VAT.
