This extensive and dynamic course covers the full range of project management skills, both internal (those in direct control) external (response to outside factors), hard skills such as planning and soft skills which are the human factors so vital to effective project management.  It is highly practical with around 50% of the course time being spent with 'hands on' activity.  That makes it very enjoyable, which in turn helps with rapid learning.

This course is built for in-house delivery in an extremely flexible format in terms of both content and delivery. Read on for details about adjusting the course and the formats which can be as a four day event, two events of two days each and with the option of adding an extra day to cover a method such as PRINCE2® or your own organisational project approach.

This exercise teaches teamwork and in the second part, team effectiveness normally increases dramatically

 

iconaudience suitable for

The course is geared for Project Managers, project support staff and others involved with the detail of planning.

The idea number for this course is 12 people but will work well with numbers as high as 16.  The course can deal with up to 4 projects being planned split between those attending.  It can also be run with groups as small as 4.

All delegates receive a copy of Inspirandum's Project Techniques Toolbox as part of the course material. This useful binder has details of more than 50 project techniques covering the areas including planning, risk management and Business Case .

icon2  course length

The course runs for 4 days  with an optional 5th day which you can have with or without Inspirandum to cover your own approach and procedures for projects, or perhaps to outline a method such as PRINCE2. The four day unit can be delivered as a single event or as two events of two days each. That makes it easier where staff are very committed to other work, such as support, and can't take 4 or 5 days out all at once.

The course is delivered 'in-company' so your staff can discuss how they will apply the approach in your organisational environment.  It can be run residentially which is particularly beneficial if we use your own projects as case study examples since then that allows more practical work in evening sessions.

using your live projects as case studies

On this courses  we can work with your own project(s) as case study examples where this is helpful.  That means delegates leave the course with outline plans for the projects as well as seeing the techniques 'grounded' in their own real projects.

the fit with the PRINCE2 project method

This course has a wider scope than the PRINCE2 ® project management method, but it has been carefully engineered not to conflict with the PRINCE where the subject matter does overlap.  That means you are not going to have to 'unlearn' and 'relearn' if you are already using PRINCE2 or are planning to adopt it at some point in the future.
