Project Management Fundamentals for Non-Specialists

Project Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Project Management Fundamentals 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 reporting and change control without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because the coordination layer is usually the least trained and the most load bearing, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with quality assurance, earned value management and risk registers in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Make a decision about quality assurance without waiting for a specialist, measured against PRINCE2
Explain earned value management to someone who does not do the work
Improve risk registers within their own organisation
Put resource planning on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
