About Workshop
Advance Project Management introduces the topic from the perspective of the Senior Manager who will be responsible for organizing, planning, implementing, resourcing, budgeting, scheduling, controlling, and evaluating a project through its entire life cycle.
Generally accepted standard techniques for doing cost/benefit estimates, project simulations, risk analysis, adjustments for unplanned occurrences, and cost/scheduling integration will be presented. Managers will be exposed to the new methods of planning and control such as Gantt charting, PERT diagramming, earned value techniques, and project auditing. There will be limited discussion of contract and procurement strategies, and the legal issues associated with them. This workshop is in a Seminar format and highly interactive. Participants are encouraged to bring real life problems and solutions.
