Project Management Overview

Sometimes the actions, jargon and plans of Project Managers confuse those who interact with them. A better understanding of the subject allows those who interact with projects to ensure that they get the right outcome from that project. The aim of this course is to provide such an understanding, through updated knowledge.

While it is not intended to make project managers out of those that aren’t, it will provide an insight into the key elements and methods of project management, enabling participants to make better use of their relationship with project staff.

This course will help learners to:

• Understand the basic principles of projects and their management
• Comprehend the key ingredients for projects to succeed
• Recognise common project management terminology
• Communicate more effectively with project managers and teams
• Recognise key components of project management methodologies
• Understand their role within projects

Initially, participants are involved in a simple project to introduce themselves and the facilitator. This highlights the issues involved in running a project and is used as a reference point throughout the course.
