11 Project Plaig, Aalysis ad Cotrol Participats will lear how to: Defie a project, its objectives ad measuremet criteria for success Develop a course of actio to improve their project maagemet competecies Estimate project schedules, costs ad resources usig a variety of prove methods Build a work breakdow structure of project tasks Develop a etwork diagram ad calculate the project schedule usig PERT/CPM Apply risk maagemet techiques to idetify, aalyse, prioritise ad develop risk respose strategies Close out a project i a systematic, comprehesive maer PMBOK Kowledge Areas: Project Time Maagemet Project Cost Maagemet Project Risk Maagemet Project Scope Maagemet This course gives itesive istructio i project maagemet fudametals across the etire project life cycle. It provides prove strategies ad practical tools for plaig, executig, ad cotrollig a variety of projects. Ad it offers detailed ad sophisticated istructio i the critical areas of schedulig key evets, cotrollig costs, ad maagig risks. Participats will improve their ability to defie the scope of a product developmet project ad maage withi that defiitio. They will lear how best to idetify ad sequece tasks, estimate duratios of tasks, schedule evets ad activities, pla for delays, cotrol variaces, maage costs, ad utilise resources. They will also lear qualitative ad quatitative techiques for idetifyig, aalysig, ad mitigatig risk, as well as the best ways ad times to apply these techiques to the project eviromet. Idividual ad smallgroup learig exercises will help to develop these skills. Participats will master key theories, cocepts, ad practices the put this kowledge to work i the classroom through a comprehesive case study ad other practical learig activities.
