Project Control Effective Management
Course Description
In today’s turbulent fast-moving business environment, it is vital that organizations are able to predict the realization of value from their work. One of the most dominant approaches to the generation of value is by using project management to deliver valuable outcomes. However, many projects significantly overrun the project schedule and budget, and as a consequence fail to achieve the organization’s financial and strategic objectives. Sometimes these failures are magnified due to senior management not being warned of the situation until far too late in project execution. Why? This is due mainly to the failure of many project managers to successfully apply the tools and techniques of modern project planning, monitoring, control and progress reporting on their projects. This course will feature the added value to be achieved when effective control mechanisms are applied using project management techniques.

This course will feature:

    • Examination of effective governance mechanisms to support planning, execution (change) and performance management
    • Reasons why failure to recognize key control points lead to poor project performance
    • Explanations of the different controlling techniques used by predictive and adaptive project management approaches
    • Demonstration of techniques to control expectations through effective stakeholder management
    • Application of core planning techniques to enable management to control project scope, schedule, costs, uncertainty and quality
