Overview

The course is designed to provide delegates with an overview of project management principles, either to achieve a general understanding or as a preliminary to further training.

  • Describe the benefits of using a project management methodology
  • Demonstrate their understanding of the key elements of project management
  • Assess their own projects in respect to what they have learnt
  • Recognise the importance of having project documentation
  • Determine those people or organisations that will be important to the project and consider how best to communicate with them
  • Define the basic steps involved in planning a project
  • Identify risks, issues and changes within a project and how best to manage them
