Course Information

Introduction

This five-day program covers a variety of advanced topics that will help you improve your ability to satisfy your stakeholders’ success criteria. You will learn how to evaluate your own performance as a project manager, how to identify organizational weaknesses that interfere with benefits realization, and how to recognize and compensate for weaknesses in Critical Path analysis.

In addition, you will learn a structured approach to identifying, selecting, and managing contracts; how to use project dynamics to address intractable problems; and how to analyze and understand cultural differences that so often cause problems in multinational projects.
