What is Generic Project Management?
Project Management is the process by which a project is organised and controlled so that all those who are involved in it are clear about why the project is being done, what the end goal is, and how this is to be achieved, along with their responsibilities to the project.
"...Project Management is concerned with bringing about change...In a world where we are in need of much change...Project Managers will make the visions come true...Project Management is FUN...For infinite variety, constant challenge, unpredictability, adrenalin-burn and ultimate sense of achievement, Project Management is hard to beat..." Fergus O'Connell

If your Project is going to work, you need the right people working together. This 2-day course develops your soft skills to equip you for running projects and delivering their planned success.
It includes topics such as team motivation and control, how to plan for changes, how to control projects and avoid 'fire-fighting', how to manage risk and how to adopt appropriate management styles when appropriate.
This 2-day course provides you with a generic bite-sized approach to one area of Project Management, which facilitates Project success; that of underpinning your Project with Project plans. You will develop your skills in the techniques for planning and effective control of projects.
This course is designed for those who already have team motivation skills but need planning and control techniques. This will include project managers who have no staff directly reporting to them and those where product development is or has been out sourced to 3rd party suppliers.
Please take a look at our PRINCE2™ Project Management courses on our What is PRINCE2™ Project Management? page if you would like training in a structured approach with the opportunity of achieving a qualification.
