Professional Project Management Skills

Knowing project management theory is different from being able to run a project meeting, write a clear status report or negotiate a change with a sponsor. This course concentrates on the practical skills that separate effective project managers: structured planning, estimating with confidence, writing concise project documents, leading meetings and teams, negotiating scope and resources, solving problems quickly and reporting progress honestly. Exercises are built around realistic tasks from GCC organisations, such as preparing a steering committee update or rescuing a slipping milestone.
