ESSENTIAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT SKILLS

tools for planning and managing future assignments.
This can be run as a full day workshop with many interactive exercises, or as a

part of a project team.

2. Planning the Work
3. Construct the Action Plan
4. The Project Action Plan
5. Working the Plan: Tips for Execution
6. Essential Skills for Project Managers
Exercises: Participants get to practice the skills they are learning on real-live projects.
Students learn about the project work flow planning and receive a very practical tool,
the Project Action Plan that they can use for planning future projects.
