2-day Project Management Basics

Introduction

This workshop gives participants an introduction to the Best Practice principles of Project Management. The workshop concentrates on helping the participants gain a sound understanding of the project management process and provides them with practical advice on using this knowledge to effectively manage their projects. Participants form small groups and it is in these small groups that they practice each new skill by developing key elements of a project plan in the workshop environment. During the workshop, software based project management tools are explored and utilised as one of a number of options available to help project teams manage their projects.

Who should attend

The workshop is suitable for the first timer to project management or the project management professional who wants a refresher or update for their skills and knowledge. Ideally teams of four or more from any part of the directorate who have a project that they are about to undertake will find the time spent in the workshop extremely valuable. Teams have the added advantage of spending quality time together over two days planning their project whilst also receiving expert knowledge and guidance.
