This course combines an overview of fundamental concepts and terminology with the practicalities needed to implement projects successfully using the PRINCE2 methodology. Using case studies and practical exercises, delegates will explore project management topics in greater depth, such as planning, scheduling and control tools.

This workshop introduces the fundamental principles and techniques needed to manage a small project. It enables participants to understand a practical approach to defining and initiating a project, to plan how it should be monitored and controlled and to identify factors which can contribute to the success of a project. The workshop is based on the principles and terminology of PRINCE2.

Programmes are different from projects in that it is their outcomes that matter, not their outputs. Programmes are initiated to realise benefits through change, whether to do things differently, to do different things, or to do things that will influence others to change.

This workshop considers these three key components of project management. It reviews quality from two complementary perspectives: the "process" and the "products" associated with the project deliverables. It also addresses the identification, analysis and response to project risk and considers communication requirements.

This hands-on course focuses on the critical planning stage of a project and how to set a project up for success. Hands-on exercises with Microsoft Project will demonstrate effective and easy-to-implement techniques to better plan, schedule and allocate resources.

This course is specifically designed for delegates who work in a project support (rather than project management) role, who are administrators of large or medium scale projects, project team or work stream leaders.  The course will involve a mixture of theoretical lectures, practical exercises and discussion workshops so that delegates can apply the lessons and techniques learned. Throughout the course, you are encouraged to share your working experiences and concerns.

The course sets out a systematic approach to preparing, structuring and writing reports. During the workshop you will consider the purpose of reports; the needs of your audience; a standard report structure; writing and presenting your material.

This is a friendly, informal course appropriate for a wide variety of staff who are required to present figures, tables and graphs in their role.
