Advanced project management course

Key facts

We do not run courses for individuals, but we are happy to run a course on premises for you and your colleagues.

What are the course objectives?

Experienced project managers already know that successful projects are not delivered solely through the efficient technical execution of a schedule. This approach can lead to 'well managed projects' that deliver little or no benefit to the business.

What content is covered?

This course explores an alternative approach to the effective management of more challenging projects. It recognises that the key is to manage the politics of the project as well as the technical content.

Understanding the business context and criteria for judging a project's success should inform the overall project strategy, planning and execution. This course (delivered over two modules) showcases a holistic approach to the key disciplines of project management:

  initiation,
  planning,
  monitoring and control,
  and proactive risk management.

What will participants gain?

Through exercises and discussions around real life experiences and video scenarios, the participants develop an understanding of how to flex their own approach to suit the demands of challenging projects.

What are the key topics?

Project success factors
Organising for projects
Scoping the projects
Stakeholder management
Advanced project disciplines
Business strategy
Investment appraisal
Resource management
