A project is a one-off, non-repeated activity or set of tasks that achieves clearly stated objectives within a time limit. Most projects are goal-oriented with clear beginnings, middles and ends, have constraints that limit and define the process, and outcomes that can be measured in terms of performance against agreed indicators. Other features of a project include purpose, goals, resources, constraints and requirements. This course takes you through the following six steps of successful project management.
• Preparation
• Planning
• Financial appraisal
• Managing through people
• Implementation
• Completion
This is intended to be a practical course that helps you develop lasting skills in how to manage a wide variety of projects successfully.
Previous experience required
Students
should ideally have worked as a project team member on at least two
different projects so that they can draw on experience from a variety of
environments. Students should be looking to develop skills as a future
project team leader or project manager, alternatively, have recently
been appointed in a such a role. Students should join the course with a
project in mind to use as their "base material" to apply course concepts
and ideas. This project can either be work-related or one from private
life.
