Course Introduction

No matter the size of your project, it's a complex puzzle of interconnected parts that must align to meet deadlines, stay within budgets, and uphold quality standards. Even a minor hiccup can cascade into delays and financial setbacks. Keeping everything synchronized is a daunting task, causing stress for both project managers and sponsors. That's why every project requires a robust project control system to track progress and evaluate performance, alongside project managers equipped with the right soft skills to lead, influence, negotiate, and motivate team members.

During project execution, the culmination of planning efforts leads to visible progress, impressing senior managers. But how do we gauge progress accurately? While numerous metrics can be tracked, only a select few truly reflect the project's performance.

To effectively monitor, measure, and assess project performance, a thorough planning and initiation process is crucial. This lays the groundwork for defining objectives, success criteria, key performance indicators, timelines, risks, budgets, and benefits—essentially setting the standards against which progress will be evaluated.

This training course will delve into:

  • Defining project success and failure
  • Understanding governance mechanisms for supporting initiation, planning, execution, and closure
  • Establishing key performance indicators, metrics, and reporting structures
  • Utilizing proven planning techniques to control project scope, schedule, costs, uncertainties, communication, and quality
