Advanced Project Management for Managers
Project Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers resource planning and scheduling from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because the coordination layer is usually the least trained and the most load bearing, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with work breakdown structure, portfolio prioritisation and cost estimation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put work breakdown structure on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against PRINCE2
- Explain portfolio prioritisation to someone who does not do the work
- Make a decision about cost estimation without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of scope definition rather than escalating it
