PROJECT MANAGEMENT
SC18
Two day course covering the fundamentals of project management.
OVERVIEW
This course provides a solid foundation for managers and project leaders to plan and carry out successful projects at work in a professional way with essential project management skills.
Managers must be able to run projects efficiently and effectively and deliver on-time and on-budget.
Projects are activities that have defined start and end dates. Unlike “business as usual”, projects set out to achieve specified objectives with limited resources such as time, budget, people resources, material resources and equipment. The ability to manage projects involves defining the project scope, obtaining the resources, delivering the project within schedule and budget and meeting other relevant parameters such as safety and risk management.
WHO IS THIS COURSE DESIGNED FOR?
This course is suitable for people who are involved in the management or delivery of projects within their team or organisation.
