AgilePM Practitioner: In-House Training

General Admission

<h2>PRINCE2® Practitioner</h2>: In-House Training
<p>Projects fail for a variety of reasons including poor planning, lack of defined quality criteria, poor understanding of the business drivers, inadequate control, and lack of senior management involvement  in other words, lack of a structured best practice approach to project delivery.</p>
<p>PRINCE2® (6th Edition is the current version) is a structured, process-based approach for project management providing a methodology which can be easily tailored and scaled to suit all types of projects. It is the de facto standard for project management in the UK Government and is also used extensively in more than 150 countries worldwide with in excess of 20,000 organizations already benefitting from its powerful approach. It can be used easily in combination with PMI®'s PMBOK® Guide to provide a robust project methodology, or to augment an existing PMBOK®-based methodology with additional rigor around areas such as Quality, Organization, and Benefits Realization.</p>
<p>The goals of this course are to take participants to the next level of understanding and application of the PRINCE2® methodology and to prepare them to sit the Practitioner exam. Using APMG provided sample exam papers and additional project case studies, participants will learn how to apply what they learned during the Foundation course and how to approach the OTE Practitioner exam, which is aimed at testing their ability to apply PRINCE2® in an actual project environment simulated via a case study provided as part of the exam.</p><h3>What you will Learn</h3>
<p>You'll learn how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tailor and apply the principles, themes, process structure, techniques, and management products of PRINCE2® within a work environment, via carefully selected case studies</li>
<li>Define the PRINCE2® 6th Edition method at the Practitioner level</li>
<li>Prepare for and take the Practitioner exam</li>

<h2><strong>About this Training Course</strong></h2>
<p>In turbulent times for the entire Energy Sector, Oil &amp; Gas E &amp; P segments are coming under tremendous pressure to reinvigorate. Oil Majors like <em>Shell Plc</em> are no longer termed as Oil &amp; Gas Company but also branded as <em>SHELL Energy</em>, with technology at its forefront. The Risks, Scope and Context of Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning (EPCIC) Projects is evolving rapidly. Thus, the success of a project is dependent on the practical 'know how' in scoping, contract drafting, negotiation and execution competencies. Understanding the essential ingredients of contracts and mastering the international contracting principles will equip the participants to identify vague and ambiguous clauses, avoid dangerous and often hidden terms, and better understand the controlling position in a project.</p>
<p>In this 3 full-day course, the participants will find out how to negotiate legacy contracts where parties are not allowed to edit any clauses during the bidding process. The participants will learn from the Case Law Reports and analysis to take home lessons learned from bitter experiences of their peers in the industry. It is designed to help those who need a solution to manage current contractual issues or those who execute contracts regularly and want to be more proficient in managing their contracts and projects, with changing contexts.</p>
<p>The course is developed with the underlying objectives for the participants to:</p>
<ol><li>Enhance their current knowledge of the legal principles governing international Contracts from formation, execution to breaches, redresses and dispute resolution either as a party or as a consortium member or as a coverture.</li><li>Manage Consortium and Joint Venture Partners inter-relationship and contractual responsibilities.</li><li>Identify dangerous exposures due to joint and severally liable requirements of consortium-based contracts.</li><li>Effectively Manage Risks of Projects, with Enforceable Contract Documents, by learning the purpose and potential benefits of maintaining evidence in compliance to the contract clauses.</li><li>Learn the Contract Enforcement Nuggets of Owners and the Variation Claims Strategies of the Contractors.</li><li>Allocation of contract management related roles / assignments and WBS within consortium partners for effective project management and profitable results.</li><li>Use of Contract Terms &amp; Conditions for enhancing project performance, monitoring, reporting, and achieving timely completion, thereby avoiding delays and disputes.</li></ol>
<p>This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format.</p>

<p>Running a successful project requires skills in planning, budgeting, tracking deliverables and stakeholder management.</p><p>An area that can be neglected by project managers is the 'people side' - not the project team themselves but the end-users, those who will be affected by the project. Too often there is a single line at the end of the project plan that says 'Comms and Training'. If people are going to have to work differently and learn some new processes, then there is work to be done by the project team to help them through the emotional side of the change.</p><p>This session explores why it's important to bring people along when a change is being made.

Discover Calm and Happiness with The SHARE Project: Your Path to Resilience! 🌟
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and stretched to your limit?  With meetings and meltdowns to manage, battles for support, the frustration of feeling isolated or misunderstood, not to mention the pressure of juggling your job too, it can It can feel like you’re running on empty; hard to find a moment to step off the hamster wheel and just breathe.
I’ve been there, and I get it!💛
After being on the brink of burnout myself, I stumbled upon simple, yet impactful self-help, self-care and relaxation tools. These quick, effective techniques helped me rebuild my resilience, reclaim my sense of self and navigate challenges with renewed strength and joy.  And that’s how The SHARE Project was born.
What is The SHARE Project?
The SHARE Project is built on a simple principle: you need to put your own oxygen mask on first!  By nurturing yourself, you’re better equipped to support your children. Through our four-week, live online workshop series, delivered via Zoom, you’ll discover practical tools to bring more calm and happiness into your daily life.
Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly Workshops:  Each week, we’ll introduce and practice one or two tools designed to fit seamlessly into your life (in just a few minutes at a time, I promise!). These are not your typical “luxury spa day” suggestions — because let’s face it, who has time for that?  Instead, you’ll learn sustainable, go-to strategies that you can use anytime, anywhere, to boost your wellbeing, even in the midst of chaos.  You will also receive a mid-week email of encouragement between workshops and printables to help record and track your progress.
Ongoing Support:  In each session, we’ll review your progress, fine-tune your approach, if needed, and introduce the next tool.  
Community Connection: You’ll be part of a supportive group of fellow SEN parents and carers who understand the unique challenges you face.  
What our clients say:
“The SHARE Project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges.  The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.”

She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character&rsquo;s life and be swept into the narrative as if she&rsquo;s been there all along. She&rsquo;s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. She&rsquo;s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she&rsquo;d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. She leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">In non-fiction, she&rsquo;s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you&rsquo;d never thought you would be. She&rsquo;d also love to find cookery and food books too, particularly cuisines that are less visible in the book world, or budget cooking.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">She&rsquo;s not currently taking on YA, children&rsquo;s, fantasy or science fiction projects.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Sian would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 5,000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document.&nbsp;</strong></p><p id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(<em style="box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box;">In addition to the paid sessions, Sian is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

There is often very little appreciation and understanding of the complexities of managing today's mission-critical data centers where downtime is not an option, especially since many of the data centers are operating at, or near, their design limits. Operations management at the facilities layer makes all the difference. Even a data center designed to the highest redundancy level as per the ANSI/TIA-942 standard could still experience many unscheduled downtime events due to poor planning, operations, maintenance and management processes.</p></div><div id="course-pills-2"><h4>Service Level Management</h4><ul><li>Service Level Management</li><li>Needs analysis</li><li>Capability assessment</li><li>Service portfolio</li><li>Service catalogue</li><li>Service Level Agreements (SLAs)</li><li>Availability measurement</li><li>Data points in SLA</li><li>Service reporting</li><li>Complaint procedure</li><li>Customer satisfaction measurement</li><li>Service Improvement Process (SIP)</li><li>SLA content</li></ul><h4>The Data Center Organization</h4><ul><li>Operational issues</li><li>Organization chart</li><li>Roles and responsibilities</li><li>Skills matrix</li><li>Contingency / backup roles</li><li>Shift management</li><li>Performance management</li><li>Career development</li><li>Training and assessment</li><li>Job rotation</li><li>Succession planning</li><li>Disciplinary program</li></ul><h4>Managing Safety &amp; Statutory Requirements</h4><ul><li>Safety policies and regulations</li><li>Occupational Health and Safety (OH&amp;S)</li><li>Safety awareness training</li><li>Permit to Work (PTW)</li><li>Lock-out / Tag-out</li><li>Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)</li><li>Testing and tagging of equipment</li><li>Emergency preparedness and response</li><li>Reporting of safety issues</li><li>Reviews / internal audit / external audit</li></ul><h4>Managing Physical Security</h4><ul><li>Security policies and procedures</li><li>Security standards and guidelines</li><li>Security staff</li><li>Security awareness</li><li>Security incident management</li><li>Disciplinary program</li><li>Reviews, internal and external audits</li></ul><h4>Facilities Management</h4><ul><li>Maintenance policies and procedures</li><li>Various maintenance programs</li><li>Outsourcing of maintenance activities</li><li>Maintenance contract options</li><li>Warranty</li><li>Maintenance schedule</li><li>Service situations</li><li>Spart part management</li><li>Contamination control</li></ul><h4>Data Center Operations</h4><ul><li>Policies and procedures for data center operations</li><li>Service operations and the daily data center operations</li></ul><h4>Monitoring / Reporting / Control</h4><ul><li>Monitoring requirements</li><li>Escalation procedures</li><li>Reporting</li><li>Trend analysis</li><li>Reviews</li></ul><h4>Project Management</h4><ul><li>Project management</li><li>Project organization</li><li>Project manager</li><li>Project phases</li></ul><h4>Environment Sustainability</h4><ul><li>The importance of sustainability</li><li>Sustainability policies </li><li>Environmental management </li><li>Power efficiency indicators -</li><li>Waste management -</li><li>Water management</li><li>ICT utilisation management </li><li>Environmental performance measurements</li><li>Renewable energy factor (REF)</li></ul><h4>Organizational Resilience</h4><ul><li>Business continuity</li><li>Data center facility options</li><li>Business Impact Analysis</li><li>Type of facility</li><li>Human resources</li><li>Facility, equipment and consumables</li></ul><h4>Governance, Risk and Compliance</h4><ul><li>Management commitment</li><li>Coordination, collaboration and integration</li><li>Compliance</li><li>Risk management</li><li>Document management</li><li>Financial management</li><li>Vendor management</li><li>Asset management</li></ul></div><div id="course-pills-3"><h4>Additional course details:</h4><br /><p>Nexus Humans Certified Data Center Facilities Operations Manager (CDFOM) training program is a workshop that presents an invigorating mix of sessions, lessons, and masterclasses meticulously crafted to propel your learning expedition forward. </p><p></p> This immersive bootcamp-style experience boasts interactive lectures, hands-on labs, and collaborative hackathons, all strategically designed to fortify fundamental concepts. <p></p>Guided by seasoned coaches, each session offers priceless insights and practical skills crucial for honing your expertise.
