Overview
Are you a newly assigned project manager or a project manager who has never attended formal training? If so, this training is for you! Get the practical and insightful knowledge, tools, and collaborative techniques you need to initiate, plan, execute, monitor, control, and close a project successfully—purposefully achieving the documented benefits.
Your abilities as a project manager depend on understanding and applying the competencies and structure of project management—especially the interrelationships between scope, time, cost, quality, and risk—and are critical to managing the needs and expectations of key stakeholders throughout the project’s life cycle. Through discussion, facilitation, group interactions, and practical exercises, you will understand how to integrate and apply A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) processes to structure and communicate your project(s) in a meaningful way to influence decision-makers in a proactive versus reactive manner.
In this training, you will understand the importance of and how to create and use the primary project documents: project charter, scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), quality standards, activity listing, critical path network schedule, risk register, project reviews, and lessons learned.
