Project Management Training Workshop with Microsoft Project
For employees who need to manage projects but are not
full time project managers, learning the techniques is done, more often than not, through trial and error. This process
of learning can be streamlined with effective project management training and this workshop provides delegates with a structured
framework to allow them to plan, monitor and control all aspects of a project. It will enable them to be able to motivate
their team to achieve the project objectives on time and the specified cost & quality. It is ideal for individuals that
are running small to medium sized projects and need to learn tools that will enable them to run their projects effectively.
This programme will also incorporate using "Microsoft Project" as the basis for organising monitoring and controlling the
component parts of a project. The programme is engaging and experiential, with a range of practical exercises, best practice
and theory to fully engage those attending.
