Implementing Project Management

Course Code: IMPLEMPM

Duration: 1 Day

Course Aims:

Do you want to practise and develop your project management skills in a simulated project environment?

This workshop will provide a unique opportunity for those who are fairly new to project management to make the transition from theory to practice. As a team, the attendees will prepare for and conduct a ‘project’ in a number of stages. After each stage, a structured review will provide the opportunity to explore the aspects of project management relevant to that stage.
