Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

Plan achievable projects: this international course produces detailed & realistic plans ready for executing complex projects. The planning processes start with 'Objective Statements', for Stakeholder approval. The project solution is then designed, followed by detailed execution planning. Learning lessons from the project is the final stage.

Unique: The project execution planning process, ("the most effective method of project execution planning" - PMI), uses easy-to-learn techniques on special wall planning charts or pre-formatted Excel spreadsheets. This process can be added to ‘PRINCE2’ that omits execution planning.

Target audience: Project Managers & Teams.

Learn how to overcome these project challenges:
1. Lack of clarity in project scopes
2. Changes not well managed (‘Scope Creep’)
3. Project risks not assessed or handled effectively
4. Lack of project management skills
5. Inadequate project plans
6. Projects do not include all stakeholders’ needs
7. Projects not linked to organisational goals
8. Conflict among project team members
9. Lack of senior management support.

Logistics: Instructor-led 8-hour (or 2 x 4-hours on separate days) online training. This product can also include a 1-hour follow-up with individual online coaching (delegates will need to access Doodle website to select coaching times). Or there is an option excluding coaching. This course is conducted only in England and Wales.
