Project Management Fundamentals - Chinese: On-Demand The course provides practical skills, concepts and principles that can be brought back to the workplace, as well as the insights needed to adapt them to specific project contexts. Many projects are managed by competent and efficient project managers who have not received professional project management training. The work of these project managers includes optimizing processes, planning marketing, developing new products, event planning and implementation, and other project work. Project Management Fundamentals (PMF) is a project management course specially designed for such people, aiming to help such managers build a solid project management knowledge base without affecting their own work too much. The course covers practical skills, theoretical foundations, working principles required in real work situations, and how to flexibly apply the acquired knowledge to special project situations. The goal of this lesson is to improve the quality of work by learning how to plan, manage and control projects effectively. Based on this, the course will focus on a process-oriented, analytically-oriented and systems-oriented approach. These frameworks will help students improve their problem-solving and decision-making skills in real-world projects, with particular emphasis on the collaborative, effective communication, and interpersonal skills needed to manage projects.

Recovering Troubled Projects: Virtual In-House Training Despite our best intentions, many of the projects that organizations undertake either don't achieve their intended business results or end in complete failure. Most seasoned project managers have had their share of experiences with difficult or troubled projects and unless they are careful, they will encounter more. This workshop does not focus on 'failed' projects but rather on those projects which without appropriate intervention would be headed for failure. Failed projects are those beyond help and which should be terminated. Here we focus on projects that are salvageable. It is an exercise-driven, no-nonsense, professional practice-focused workshop positioning the participant to immediately apply the tools and lessons learned in the classroom. The workshop employs the use of both illustrative and practical/working case studies. Illustrative case studies will examine insights from real-world troubled projects. Participants will be asked to bring descriptions of their own examples of troubled projects on which they're currently working or on which they have worked in the past. A number of these will be used as the basis for the practical/working case studies. The approach builds on and complements the disciplines addressed in Project Management Institute's PMBOK® Guide and also addresses issues that arise when managing projects in a complex environment. What You Will Learn You will learn to: Recognize the value of a structured project recovery process Explain the reasons most projects fail Analyze the causes of a project's troubles Construct a negotiation process to use with key stakeholders Apply an effective strategy to planning the recovery effort Manage, evaluate, and adjust the ongoing recovery effort Foundation Concepts Recognizing a troubled project Defining the project recovery process The Reasons Projects Fail Putting failure in perspective Reviewing management issues Analyzing planning issues Exploring complexity issues Assess the Project Stabilizing the project Determining preliminary Go / No-Go Conducting a detailed recovery assessment Negotiate the Recovery Reviewing the basics of negotiation Setting reasonable expectations Obtaining appropriate PM authority Securing key stakeholder support Plan the Recovery Planning for recoveries Rebuilding the project team Reshaping the project plan Managing parallel activities Planning for change management Implement and Adjust the Project Implementing project recoveries Facilitating change Enabling continuous learning Fostering the project team Sustaining stakeholder engagement
