This 3-day in-house course provides a thorough understanding of best-practice methods of scope definition, planning and schedule & cost control.
Project managers deploying these tools will be more effective planners and progress controllers, and will be able to provide objective and thorough analysis of progress and spend to their senior managers.
Senior managers whose project staff have attended this course will benefit from more accurate reporting of projects, with earlier detection of problems in scope, timescale or cost.
