Perfect Project
 

Take the guesswork out of projects....

Discover how you can deliver your projects on time, every time... reduce your headaches, stress and tension while you develop the skills professionals use each and every day.

Project Agency has shown over 8,000 people how to deliver their projects and if you want to know how, you need to read this all the way to the bottom of the page!

Just imagine:

  • you start a project knowing what processes you need to work through - no guesswork

  • you are confident that the scope of work is right - no moving of goal posts....

  • you have a no nonsense, practical and tested project management framework that enables you to effectively deliver projects time after time after time

  • that you use the key project management techniques from our course back on your business as usual activity - what a difference in speeding up the work!

Here are the great techniques you will learn over the two days:
How to use a really practical project management framework which will ensure you deliver every time in a consistent way
How to define, plan and control projects so there are NO misunderstandings
Ways to save you tons of stress by understanding the key roles you and others play in effective project delivery
Stopping the unexpected - managing and reducing risks in all project work
Ensuring the project is worth doing - developing the business case
How to ensure there is COMPLETE clarity of purpose -  producing an agreed and signed off scoping document (PID)
Obtaining maximum buy in from key stakeholders, a key Project Agency principle or do YOU create gatekeepers along the way?
Producing a robust project plan - an understanding of planning concepts which you can use back in your place of work
Understanding the tensions - understanding what is driving the project at the outset and keeping to it throughout its life
Avoiding OPB - optimistic planning bias!! This dreaded disease must be avoided at all costs and we show you how to ensure your estimates - time and money are  realistic
Developing and effectively using project charts and how to use them to monitor your progress
What should go into your project control process and how to ensure you are on schedule and remain so
Great tools to use back in the workplace which when you applied to business as usual work impact positively
Preventing project creep - how to stop your project from being attacked by changes which impact on the budget or delivery date or both!
How to formally close a project - avoiding project dribble

Who is this designed for?

This two day event will benefit any person engaged in a project. It is also relevant to project managers, project team members, staff who will soon be working on a project, those with little project experience and those who want a "refresher".
