INTRODUCTION

Effective project management is a process rather than an event. This course teaches you how to launch a project, deal with unforeseen issues that arise along the road, arrange information, and communicate effectively about it. You'll discover how to efficiently oversee each project, deliver progress updates, host review meetings, and adhere to deadlines. Additionally, you'll discover how to manage the risk of deviating from your plan as well as costs and undesired growth limitations.

Participants in this program will learn how to conceptualize, plan, develop, monitor, and conclude the complicated projects that are currently the top priorities at work. Each session gives helpful guidance and clarifies the how-to and whys of project planning and management.

The shut-down, or completion, phase is a key component of any project's efficient management. At the conclusion of the course, participants will have a better understanding of the advantages of concluding each project, as well as how to start one and allocate resources for it.

By the end of the course participants will be able to:

• Outline their criteria for successful projects and devise strategies for putting them into practice through better project planning, coordination, and monitoring.
