Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this project management training:

Determining accurate and realistic baselines for scope, timeline, costs and quality

Set your project up for success. Proper planning dramatically increases your odds of meeting project objectives and coming in on time and under budget. In less than 3 hours we’ll give the tools to initiate a project successfully. We’ll show you how to set realistic objectives and accurate baselines for scope, timeline, costs and quality.

NOTE: A headset with microphone is required to attend and participate in this program.

Who Should Attend:

Individuals who are new to project management, “accidental” project managers (professionals for whom PM is a secondary part of their jobs), business analysts, subject-matter experts from any field who contribute to projects, managers responsible for projects and experienced project managers looking to review current tools, techniques, and processes.

What you will cover:

  • Identify key stakeholders and set their expectations about what the project will deliver
  • Get consensus on a project requirements document to make sure you’re all on the same page before you get started
  • Focus your team on project deliverables with a clearly defined project charter
  • Create documentation to easily track and report on your project’s progress
