Training Course Syllabus:

The Project Performance Management Workshop: Time, Cost and Budget - Available for Onsite Training ONLY

While many project managers know the principles, theories and technical knowledge that are required to run projects, they often lack the hands-on know-how that’s needed to successfully take a project from a plan to its close.

This seminar goes beyond the project management “blueprint” outlined in the PMBOK to guide you through the practicalities of its on-the-job application. In just three days, you’ll gain practical experience to improve the performance of your projects, with hands-on scenarios in building a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), converting it into a network schedule, constructing a budget and tracking performance of actuals using Earned Value Management (EVM).
