This course is truly a "seminar," in that its direction and content are based on the expressed needs of the attendees. The
course topics vary according to the answers given to the initial question:"What are the main benefits you'd like to get from project management?" The Ten Most Common Responses:
- "To take less time to complete projects."
- "To give early warning of schedule slippage."
- "To predict resource bottlenecks."
- "To avoid working everyone to death as deadlines near."
- "To estimate realistic deadlines and budgets."
- "To control scope change and its effect on schedule and cost."
- "To prioritize multiproject resource assignments."
- "To develop a template for similar projects."
- "To track our vendors, so they don't let us down."
- "To implement project management software most effectively."
Project management does all this! And more!
And whatever the interests of a particular executive, this seminar will show:
- The project methodologies that respond to them.
- The hidden benefits gained through these same methods.
- The pitfalls to avoid in haphazard project management.
