Provided by Fast Forward Project Management
This highly interactive and practical 2-day training workshop uses the concepts of Goal Directed Project Management (GDPM) to focus on the key principles that increase the chances of project success.
Our delivery and knowledge sharing ethos does not involve extensive lecturing or examinations. Our experience has told us that embedding learning is about doing rather than being told, enabling rapid application and reinforcement of learning. Our training workshops replicate real life projects and team creation where strangers are brought together to plan and achieve a common goal.
This training workshop is highly interactive, based on practical use of the techniques and Fast Forward templates using simulated projects in a safe environment, which in turn means that delegates can be effective immediately they return to their normal business environment.
Using practical project examples the teams learn to develop and agree a clear project scope, the end Goal, a series of Objectives, development of a Milestone Plan, completion of a Responsibility Matrix, Risk and Stakeholder Management and effective project controls. A review session is held after every main session.
Primarily aimed at Project and Programme Managers, Project Team members or Project Support Office (PSO) people, this workshop can equally be used as a practical introduction to project management for people with limited experience of managing projects or improving the effectiveness of projects being managed by the more experienced project managers and their teams.
The most effective course numbers are between 10-16 delegates.
This Project Management workshop will enable you to:
a Develop skills and knowledge of a GDPM based approach.
a Practice the GDPM techniques in a safe environment.
a Understand the Human Factors associated with change.
a Apply the GDPM techniques to your projects immediately.

About The Training Provider: Fast Forward Project Management

Whilst we fully support any method that instils elements of PM discipline and rigour we do know that just sitting in classrooms preparing for and taking exams is not the solution.
