Advanced Project Management for Non-Specialists
5 days|Delivered on request
Advanced Project Management for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through project initiation and resource planning without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because organisations run more projects than they have capacity to govern, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with lessons learned, agile and scrum practice and cost estimation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain lessons learned to someone who does not do the work, measured against earned value management
- Bring agile and scrum practice into line with current good practice
