Successful Project Management - An Introduction to Project Management for Beginners.

This 1 day course has been designed to provide non-project managers with a practical understanding of project management, giving them the confidence and skills to deliver projects, work within project teams and apply a more structured approach to their day-to-day work.

Who Should Attend?

Managers, team leaders and employees with little or no project management experience, who intend to be part of or manage a project

People who have previously worked on projects, looking for a general refresher course before they return to project management

Why Attend?

Project management is fast moving into the business mainstream and is being recognised by many organisations as a controlled and structured approach for achieving organisational change.

As a result of this, many non-project managers are being asked to manage projects without any formal training and limited experience.

This tends to lead to an inconsistent approach to project management across the organisation and undermines the potential for success.

Definitions of project terms, leadership of projects and the management of project progress can be interpreted differently in different departments, which can lead to misunderstandings and stress when critical deadlines are not met.

This course equips non-project managers with the essential knowledge and skills to oversee and implement projects in a confident and effective manner.
