Description

In today’s fast-paced business environment, the ability to efficiently manage projects from inception to completion is a critical skill. Organizations that employ project management practices boast an impressive success rate in meeting project objectives. This highlights the impact that structured project management approaches can have on achieving desired outcomesA project cycle gives a framework for planning the sequence of a project’s activities.

Just understanding the project management knowledge is not enough.Project management is the application of specific knowledge, skills, methodologies, and techniques aimed at achieving specific and measurable project goals including, ultimately, successful project completion. This course gives participants a deeper understanding of project fundamentals tools and techniques like Work Breakdown Structure, Gantt Chart, Network Analysis and Earned Value Analysis.This course cuts across the theory of Project Management with practical examples of learning the tools and techniques. This course will focus on the various tools and techniques of Work Breakdown Structure, Gantt Chart, Network Analysis and Earned Value Analysis.
