Project management methodology
In a project it quickly becomes obvious when there is no shared picture of the goal, who is responsible for what, when a task is done, or when to step in. These situations are often not solved by a complicated methodology, but by a few project management basics used well. This two-day project manager course walks through the full logic of a project. We look at how an idea becomes a well-defined goal, how the work is broken down, how time is planned, which roles and responsibilities are needed, and how to handle risks, changes and stakeholders. On the course we work through the topics and methodological tools in small groups, on practical tasks.
What do organisations call a project? · How do projects differ from the tasks an organisation treats as business as usual? · Which processes characterise successful projects?
How can we set the goals a project should reach, and how can we make progress measurable? · How do we break project work into deliverables and tasks? · How do we schedule realistically so the project can reach its goals?
Which roles appear in a project environment? What responsibility and authority do they have? · How can communication around the project be planned?
How do we handle risks that come up during projects? · How do we handle changes during projects? · How do we handle the project’s stakeholders?
How can we motivate the team working on the project?
If you are at the start of a project manager career and want a solid methodological foundation.
If you work in a project team and want a clearer view of the whole process of leading a project.
If you already lead projects, mostly from your own experience so far, and you want practical training rather than exam preparation.
