Overview

More and more organisations are using 3rd Party suppliers to contribute to their projects. In some cases this occurs on a 'one off' basis, but more frequently under an 'umbrella' arrangement with one or more regular suppliers. The rationale for this approach varies, but often involves suppliers at the leading edge in technology or services. Managing such a situation can involve a number of very significant differences for the Project Manager when compared to the approach needed for a conventional 'in-house' project.

Managing Projects Involving 3rd Parties will enable delegates to understand the distinctive and unique project management issues that need to be addressed, and provides recommended approaches to be adopted in order to handle them effectively.

This course carries the award of 15 Professional Development Units (PDU's) for PMI re-certification.

This is an intensive and lively two-day course using a combination of workshops, discussions, lectures and a case study.
