Course Description
As business and organizational environments become increasingly complex, it is critical that work initiatives are controlled effectively. Management need to ensure that the correct work is being performed throughout the entire lifecycle of a project. How many times have we encountered situations where project timeline and budget overruns have occurred? Furthermore, what happen when the reasons that motivated the selection of a project have altered - are projects set up to recognize that they must alter their requirements and deliverables in order to meet changing stakeholder needs. Effective management of these situations is achieved through the application of control mechanisms that include ongoing monitoring of project performance and effective governance structures that support clear reporting to senior decision makers.
This interactive, applications-driven 5-day training course will prepare delegates to recognize the need for effective control mechanisms and also how to apply these mechanism using standard tools and techniques.
Usage of charters to control project selection, approval and sponsor/pm alignment
Development of key plans in order to establish the fundamental controlling structure of the triple constraints: Scope, Time and Budget
Using baseline plans and the triple constraints to control project change
Overview of the adaptive lifecycle used to control very volatile situations
Effective project progress reporting using the Earned Value Management system
