Project Management Professional Development Program – Module 1 + Module 2

Don’t get left behind…

Our Project Management Professional Development Program includes the basic, underlying principles of project management, through to their application in challenging situations. Our focus is on equipping participants with the disciplines, tools, templates and communication skills for immediate transfer to their workplace.

This 5 day course comprises the key learnings and outcomes from both the Project Management Fundamentals and Project Management in Practice workshops and is ideal for individuals wanting to undergo both.

What you gain from the course

• Hands-on, business ready expertise that you can immediately apply
• Comprehensive Project Management  Fundamentals and Project Management in Practice program materials and case studies
• Sought-after, industry-leading certification from Australia’s most highly accredited PM and PMO partner

In today’s fast-paced and changing economy, challenged projects almost invariably lead to significant business problems.

Accelerating and managing sustainable change through effective project delivery is the single most significant requirement of our business era. Organisations that understand and execute it effectively, prosper. Those that don’t, regularly compromise opportunity and often disappear altogether.

A direct result is an ever increasing need for professionals to supplement traditional technical skills with high value business delivery skills. In order to provide a significant contribution, Project Managers must be proficient across three critical domains:

• General business acumen
• Project management processes, techniques and tools
• Interpersonal and business communications skills

Our Project Management Professional Development Program combines both the ‘art’ and ‘science’ of project management; from the basic, underlying principles of project management, through to their application in the many challenging situations faced daily by Project Managers.

Our focus is on equipping participants with the disciplines, tools, templates and communication skills for immediate transfer to their workplace, and to effect immediate and discernible behavioural change in delivering business benefit through project initiatives.

This Program is 5 days in duration and comprises the following modules:

Module 1: Project Management Fundamentals (2 days)
(For Project Managers, Team Members and Stakeholders)

This module employs a ‘from the ground up’, end-to-end life cycle approach, introducing the fundamental principles, tools and techniques for managing projects from a project’s inception through to closure. Participants at this level may be absolute beginners, or individuals with low to moderate experience. This workshop is a ‘hands-on’ and highly practical one which uses a real-life project case study, to which the participants will immediately apply their learning. A comprehensive participant handbook is provided, and includes a set of completed sample project management documents.

For a detailed outline of the content and structure of this workshop, please refer to the course outline for Project Management Fundamentals.

Module 2: Project Management in Practice (3 days)
(Applying Project Management Thinking to Everyday Project Situations)

This module uses the best practice … principles of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide) Knowledge Areas and Processes as its foundation, to build upon participants’ existing skills and knowledge (gained either through prior Project Fundamentals training or through their experience working in a project environment). It does this by way of a ‘guided tour’ through a series of rigorous and real-life scenarios, problems and issues faced by Project Managers across the board, as well as through the provision of tools, techniques and best practice methods for successfully managing these. Project Management in Practice is led by an expert, senior level facilitator possessing a wealth of project management knowledge and long-term hands-on experience at both the project and program levels. A comprehensive participant handbook is provided.
