Total Project Management

The rate at which projects are growing in size and complexity is continuously increasing. As such, the importance of improving the way we manage projects, from planning through execution, to final hand-over, is now more crucial than ever before. Through the use of advanced technologies, coupled with increased multi-national collaborations, the demand on production, safety, and quality continues to grow to levels that were previously considered unachievable. This has resulted in the way in which projects are managed needing to take a quantum leap forward.

This GLOMACS Total Project Management training course reviews the fundamental principles of project management, which form the bedrock of every successful project, and exposes the key attributes needed to optimize project delivery.

This Total Project Management training course will highlight the following:

• Developing effective project management strategies
• Establishing key project control parameters
• Identifying and Managing Project Stakeholders
• Understanding why some projects fail
• Managing Project uncertainties
• Applying predictive project control techniques

The seminar is split into two modules:

MODULE I - Technical Project Management

MODULE II - Applying Project Control

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a two-week training course.

By the end of this Total Project Management training course attendees will fully understand:

• The importance of identifying and managing project complexities
• How to engage project stakeholders and manage their expectations?
• The constraints that govern project outcomes
• How to develop effective project plans and budgets?
• How to adapt to the dynamic nature of projects?
• Proven methods for project hand-over and close-out
