Advanced Project Cost Control
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into stakeholder communication, scope definition and the judgement calls that sit outside earned value management. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because organisations run more projects than they have capacity to govern. Delegates leave able to work confidently with change control, cost estimation and resource planning in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of change control rather than escalating it, measured against earned value management
- Spot where cost estimation is failing before it becomes a finding
- Explain resource planning to someone who does not do the work
- Review scheduling and say plainly whether it is working
