PURPOSE
Effective project management is a process rather than an event. This course teaches you how to launch a project, deal with unforeseen issues that arise along the road, arrange information, and communicate effectively about it. You’ll discover how to efficiently oversee each project, deliver progress updates, host review meetings, and adhere to deadlines. Additionally, you’ll discover how to manage the risk of deviating from your plan as well as costs and undesired growth limitations.
Participants in this program will learn how to conceptualize, plan, develop, monitor, and conclude the complicated projects that are currently the top priorities at work. Each of the modules offers helpful guidance while demystifying the how-tos and whys of project design and management.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course participants will be able to:
Describe their goals for successful projects and devise strategies for achieving them through better project planning, communication, and monitoring.
Describe the techniques and instruments that can be used to comprehend the community they serve better.
Work through the planning process for a project, create a prospective project for their community, and discover a method they may use with their own communities.
Create a strategy for how they will use the knowledge and abilities they acquired in the course in their careers and how they will impart them to others.
