An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Managing Project Control
Effectively Supporting Project Delivery
Course Introduction
What makes a “good” project manager? Is it the individual who “rolls up their sleeves” and firefights different project issues while all around the project is in turmoil? Or is it somebody who professionally guides a project through its journey, observing and forecasting unplanned incidents, making workload adjustments as needed and escalating issues to senior decision-makers when appropriate?
Clearly it is the latter. However, being in a position to professionally guide a project requires strong control of the project environment. This Oxford training course explores generally accepted standard project management practices that enable a project manager to control their projects effectively. This involves preparing the project so that it is controlled effectively and then performing management processes to monitor, report and adjust projects.
Objectives

- propose the use of either adaptive or predictive approaches depending upon the project environment
- work within effective project governance structures to control the appropriate involvement of senior management when needed to ensure project success
- to avoid waste (and potential failure) by controlling the expectations and understanding of key stakeholders (customer, sponsor, team) in regard to project objectives and required outcomes
- develop key baseline plans that can be used to control project progress
