An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Applying Project Control
Ensuring Successful Project Delivery
Through Optimised Control
Course Introduction
How many times have we encountered situations where project timeline and budget overruns have occurred? Furthermore, what happens when the reasons that motivated the selection of a project have altered - does the project change its course? Not always! As business and organizational environments become increasingly complex, it is critical that work initiatives are controlled effectively.
This Oxford Management training course explores generally accepted standard project management practices that enable a project manager to control their projects effectively. It examines project control through clear project governance, setup, planning and monitoring of a project.
