Training Course Overview

The challenges of 2020 and 2021 have been significant. The pandemic has driven a global transformation in how we live and work, resulting in major changes across business and community cultures.

This training course is designed to reinforce the value of traditional processes, tools, and techniques while adapting them for the new realities of a post-pandemic world. We will explore how to apply these methods effectively, regardless of the availability of vaccines, and review our plans with a realistic mindset.

Organizations are likely to be re-evaluating their Vision, Mission, and Strategy, which may lead to the cancellation, deferral, or initiation of projects based on early-stage estimates. These initial estimates, often uncertain, require detailed cash flow projections and scheduling forecasts. Whether employees are working on-site under distancing rules or from home, the course will focus on monitoring project progress and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of team efforts.

This Operational Excellence in Project Management course will feature:

  • Organisation Vision, Mission and Strategy; and how projects start
  • The Project Manager’s role, responsibilities, and team
  • Project Planning and Scheduling
  • Risk Management and Baselining
  • Monitoring and Control, Evaluation, Reporting, Closure & Hand-over
