Course Description

Project management is growing exponentially. It`s now used in virtually all industries. Projects are how these organizations streamline to improve productivity and often require resources which are not under the direct control of the project manager. So the project manager will therefore need to work with the relevant line manager to control these resources as and when they are required in order to reduce the deviation between actual performance and planned performance. Tracking the progress of the project, evaluating performance vs. plan, and correcting discrepancies between planned and actual progress

Course Goal

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for the proactive planning and control of projects

Course Objectives

• Plan his project and control it’s progress
• Control the project’s cost and man-hour
• Understand the  project services
