Project Management Skills

 

Course 1 - Understanding Project Management

 

Project management isn't just for construction engineers and military logistics experts anymore. Today, in addition to regular job duties, people are often expected to take on extra assignments and to get that additional job done well, done under budget, and done on time.

 

This workshop is not intended to take participants from a supervisory or administrative position to that of a project manager. However, these three days will familiarize them with the most common terms and the most current thinking about projects.

 

In this workshop, you will walk participants through the nuts and bolts of project management, from setting priorities to controlling expenses and reporting on the results. They may still have to cope with the unexpected, but they'll be better prepared.

Course 3 - Effective Project Management Intermediate

 

Project management is not just restricted to certain industries, or to individuals with certification as a project manager. Lots of us are expected to complete assignments that are not a usual part of our job, and to get the job done well, within our budget, and on time.

 

This workshop is intended for those who understand the conceptual phase of a project's life cycle, including setting goals, creating a vision statement, and creating the Statement of Work. Today will take you through the remaining three stages: planning, execution, and termination.

Course 4 - Effective Project Management Advanced

 

It's easy to forget the "manager" part of your "project manager" title among the other range of activities you are responsible for. However, your management skills are an important part of your success as a project manager, so it is crucial that you grow both of those skill sets. There are also some advanced project management techniques that you can master to help bring your projects to successful completion.

 

This workshop presumes that participants have a thorough understanding of project management, including topics such as preparing a statement of work, setting project goals, scheduling, budgeting, managing project risks, and executing a project.

Course 5 - Effective Planning and Scheduling

 

As project managers and leads, we all know how difficult it can be to accurately determine the duration of a project, yet that is exactly what is expected of us on a regular basis. This workshop will not disclose the secret of creating an accurate schedule, because there isn't one. However, it will provide the factors and fundamental elements that you should consider and address when creating any type of schedule.

We hired Rick to provide two completely different presentations to our sales force and our customer service teams. Both events were lively, dynamic and exciting. We loved how he combined stage magic with his unique insights in both of these specialties. We were all very impressed with his highly creative programs. We loved his passion and enthusiasm as a business speaker. Still trying to figure out how he knew where we hid his paycheck. Totally impossible. More impressive than when Kreskin did that!
