Course overview
Leading a project can involve considerable pressure. This bootcamp examines approaches to project work and the contribution project management makes to delivery, including project selection, estimating and scheduling. Delegates consider customer issues and satisfaction as they practise tools and methods that can be applied in their organisation.
Team exercises run through the week. Assigned roles give delegates experience of preparing elements of a project plan, assessing risks and setting metrics, while the case study also introduces the different demands of managing multiple projects and large programmes. Leadership, team responsibilities and difficult personalities are part of that work.
Customer and sponsor discussions accompany the planning exercises. Delegates present a schedule and risk information, set up project controls and handle changes that affect time or budget. The final sessions address completion, handover and lessons learnt, including ways to understand customers and improve working relationships.
