The Fundamentals of Project Management - Tools, Techniques and People Management Skills for Achieving Success

Projects are becoming more and more a part of the success of any organisation. Projects are activities that can result in new or changed products, services, environments, processes and organisations. Projects are also being used to increase sales, improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs, improve the work environment and in all areas where a change to the status quo is needed.

Today's successful business manager needs to be skilled in the elements of Project Leadership and Management.


Managing a Project is in itself not particularly difficult, provided the basic principles of Project Management are followed. A lot of research and practical experience has gone into developing concepts, tools, techniques and project "best" practices that can and should be used by anyone considering Managing a Project or Project team. A good understanding of Basic Project Management will significantly improve the probability of completing your project successfully, and on time.

An Intensive 2-day Course with an Experienced Project Consultant will guide you through the Practical Application of Project Management Techniques.

This CBM Training course has been designed to "Fast-Track" Project Management skills to those who have been given responsibility for projects, to allow them to manage, lead and control a successful project from inception and planning, through monitoring and troubleshooting to conclusion and wrap-up.

The course addresses "Technical" skills like Project Scheduling, Budget Management, and Risk Planning as well as "Core" disciplines such as Project Scoping, Critical Path Planning, Resource Allocation and an introduction to Software Based Monitoring .

Delegates attending this course will be exposed to:

  1. Proven Project Management Methodologies and Techniques that can be applied to any project
  2. Effective Project Leading Styles and skills to enable you to get the most out of the project team.
  3. Easy to implement Monitoring and Control systems to ensure that Project objectives are met "on-time" and "on-budget".

The course is structured using small groups for in-depth discussion of each area covered. This ensures that the days are practical and the subjects covered can be directly related back to real life, quickly and effectively.
