COURSE SUMMARY

 

It is common for people in organisations to be drawn from their day-to-day job to adopt the role of Project Manager. This is often to improve some business processes, implement new technology or perhaps adhere to new regulatory requirements. While those chosen to manage such projects are usually the ‘best placed person for the job’, without some project management skills, the likelihood of complete project success is greatly diminished.

 

This course will provide participants with an understanding of Project Management (based on PRINCE2) and will supply them with essential tools and techniques which they can use to better initiate, organise, plan and deliver successful projects.

Upon completion of this course; the participant will:

 

  • Learn how to effectively initiate and define a project

Who could run that project?

 

[ Methods for managing successful projects ]

 

By Rod O’Doherty, Salar IT Consulting, April 2019

 

 

This is a question which many managers ask when someone’s great idea becomes a business project reality. But who do you choose?

 

By far the best choice is to use an experienced and qualified project manager. But unless you are a large organisation which has qualified project management resource in-house or can afford to hire-in such resources, then this option is not always feasible from a cost/benefit perspective.
