Project Management Essentials

Your ability to follow a structured, industry-standard project process enables you to improve efficiency, manage time, engage effectively with stakeholders and to manage risk and costs.

For this reason, Project Management is fast becoming viewed as an 'essential talent' that is valued by a wide range of organisations.

Your ability to apply project skills in both small and large operational settings sets the scene for greater overall performance efficiency, and ultimately, improved customer satisfaction.

This introductory course provides a practical overview of the key processes of the project lifecycle, and introduces the primary knowledge areas such as time, cost, scope and stakeholder management. Attendees will be provided with a useful set of templates to take away, adapt and apply back in their local government.
