Course Rationale

Effective project management is critical to the success and reputation of organisations of types and sizes. Well managed projects drive change, focus activity and provide for robust assessment of success.

Projects cannot be left to chance. They need to be managed within a clear framework that provides structure, co-ordination, the management of risks and clearly defined goals.

Those with responsibility for managing a project need a range of skills and techniques to ensure successful outcomes.

Smaller projects often have to be led by managers who need to continue to play their normal role in the organisation. This can lead to lack of focus and drift. This introduction to project management course helps avoid this problem. It is designed to be practical and realistic, and the course handbook contains a wealth of valuable tools and templates that build into a handy desktop reference.
