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.
Objectives
By attending this course you should learn how to:
- Use charters to control project selection, approval and sponsor/pm alignment
- Develop key plans in order to establish the fundamental controlling structure of the triple constraints: Scope, Time and Budget
- Construct baseline plans and leverage the triple constraints to control project change
- Appreciate how the adaptive lifecycle is used to control very volatile situations
- Report project progress using the Earned Value Management system
Training Methodology
The facilitator will introduce each of the core topics using a lecture format. Presentations are supported by reinforcement exercises related to case studies in order to emphasize the application of theory in real-world project settings. Delegates explore the fundamentals of project management so that they may appreciate how a project management framework supports effective control processes. This Oxford Management training course in Applying Project Control then explores specific practices used to control a project throughout its lifecycle.
