An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Project Performance Measurement & Management
Ensuring Accurate and Efficient Project Execution
Course Introduction
How can it be that a project might meet the agreed scope, cost and time and still not be considered a success? Could it be because delivering the agreed outputs might not result in the expected project outcomes. What good is it to replace an existing patient care system in a hospital if it does not result in an increased level of health care? You may deliver the agreed scope of new rooms, equipment, workflows and information systems on time and within budget but who cares if the result is that less patients are healed?
