Introduction

Good Project Managers go beyond the standard motions of project management by applying techniques and developing the mindsets which will allow them to allocate wisely their focus and efforts between the many management activities competing for their attention.

Good project management is manifested through both the process followed and the results achieved. It is the outcome of balancing effectively the management of short-term and longer-term activities and goals in a way which enhances performance and enables productive behaviours.

This contributes to the unleashing of creativity, the forging of positive alliances, and the achievement of a productive harmony within the project.

Course Description

This seminar lays down the theoretical foundation which will help you put to use several management concepts and techniques necessary for you to understand your project’s Critical Success Factors (CSFs), which becomes an important precondition for you to be able to prioritise your management efforts.

The Ps of Project Management provide a common set of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for all projects. 

Being aware of and consciously managing the Ps of project management helps you to strategically prioritize your actions, ensure that they are tactically pertinent and aligned with both lower- and higher-order goals. If as a project manager you can bring these goals together in synchronicity, your projects will be well on the way to success.

Target Audience

This training is for you:

The seminar is open to all those working in Project. Prior experience in project management or working in projects is useful but not required.

Training Outcomes

  • identify under-managed dimensions of project management.
  • develop a new perspective from which to view your project management priorities.
  • be able to do the right things at the right time (and for the right reasons).
