Course Information

Introduction

This two weeks program is designed to help you develop project management skills that will be immediately useful, usable, and used back on the job.
How do we do this?
We use actual projects provided by the participants in each class as the basis for all of the key exercises.
This allows you to practice in a realistic environment that is not black and white, but shades of gray — just like the real world.
The first week of the program will help you develop the skills needed to build and execute a realistic and robust project plan. You will learn how to balance product constraints, cost constraints, and schedule constraints in order to maximize stakeholder satisfaction.
You will also learn how to measure project performance objectively.
The program also includes extensive treatment of qualitative risk management — how to find and respond to the real risks on your project, the ones that are most likely to cause you to fail.
You will also learn how to write useful risk statements and how to recognize the conceptual biases that can interfere with good project risk management.
The second week of the program is devoted to building the skills you will need to craft constructive, win-win agreements within the project team as well as between the project team and the other stakeholders. Exercises will help you master basic concepts such as positions vs. interests, how to prepare for a negotiation, and how to behave during the negotiation.
The material is equally applicable to internal negotiations and contract negotiations.
Approximately 50% of class time is devoted to casework and experiential learning.
During hands-on exercises, you will work as part of a team to develop a business case, a work breakdown structure, range estimates, a network logic diagram, and a risk response plan.

• Prepare an effective business case.
