Project management: the essentials

The focus of the day will be to provide a practical ‘project management toolbox' that you can use in your daily work. During the course you will have the opportunity to manage a project. You will be able to apply the techniques you learn to a project that you bring along. Topics covered: project initiation, managing stakeholders and risk, time estimation, planning.

By the end of this session you will understand more about:

• The importance of planning.
