Provided by Impact Factory
This one day Public Project Management Course is an opportunity for individuals to look at the way they handle and manage their projects. A practical look at creating productive teams, diffusing conflict, getting quick buy-in and effective delegation to move projects forward.
There are any number of good project management processes out there but, as always, a process is only as good as the people running it. So while there is some focus on process in this course, the primary focus is about getting the best out of the people involved - including you.
This course focuses on soft skills rather than a methodology such as PRINCE and therefore will not lead to accreditation

Project Management Course Programme
The Project Manager and the Process
We start first with you as a project manager, what you already have and what you need to support you in the process so you get the most out of the project and your team. Sometimes it might be less about what you know and more about who you know
We look at the soft skills needed at different stages in the project management process from setting objectives, through implementation, to successful completion.
Starting out on your Project
Great outcomes
The first step in managing any project is deciding what the outcome is meant to be. Then we can look at how we go about achieving it. Most of us recognise that a project will have a desirable business outcome but what about the people involved? Including you
Looking at what you and others want from the project in terms of personal benefits will help to motivate the whole team to deliver.
Getting the ideas for the Project
We take a look at how to facilitate discussions; opening up and generating ideas that will take the project forward, before closing down the options and making decisions.
Project Management Planning
Who what why
We'll take a look at who you need to rope in to your project management team to get the outcome you want, the roles they play and how to get buy in from them, especially when they are not under your direct control.
Getting commitment to the Project
What is the nature of commitment and how do you get it from people?
Getting the Project message out
Once your project management plans are in place, we have some tips and techniques for communicating effectively with those that need to know, upwards, downwards and sideways
Project Implementation
Then the fun begins.
Keeping control
The project is in full flow and you want to look and feel like you are in control. We'll take a look at how you can achieve good project management with some simple exercises that help to keep you in the driving seat.
Delegating Project Tasks
Delegation can be a double edged sword. You get to pass on jobs to other people but how do you build the trust relationship that gives you peace of mind, knowing the job will be done (almost ) as well as you would have done it yourself.
The best laid plans of mice and men...
So your project management plans were great but things aren't quite working out that way, we have a couple of great tools and techniques for dealing with people who haven't delivered, or for letting others know that things aren't going to plan in a way that still comes across as professional and in control.
Project Buster
We have a great project management process for getting stuck projects unstuck so that you can move closer to your ideal outcome. It is a process that looks at the issues from different angles, encourages creativity in thinking up solutions and ends with a commitment to moving things on.
Of course, we can't guarantee that your projects will all flow smoothly from now on but with this Project Management Course under your belt we hope you will have a better idea of why things panned out as they did, what worked and what didn't, to give you a head start for your next project.
