Project Management Course

Northumbria University, in conjunction with BitWise, is hosting a one-day introductory Project Management course on Thursday 12th June 2008.  The course, which will be held at Northumbria University, has been designed specifically to address the needs of businesses.

Project management is a multidisciplinary set of activities encompassing – amongst other things –
the management of people, time, money and uncertainty within a project. Fundamentally, project
management is concerned with making the best decisions in any given set of circumstances, but it
is also about putting in place and maintaining a project structure as the enabler for reasonable and
logical decision-making.

In this one-day introduction to the subject we look firstly at what a project manager is actually
responsible for. Then, working through a typical project management lifecycle, we explore what
types of decisions project managers need to make and what tools and methods are at their disposal
to help them.

The course is intended to be interactive and delegates are given the opportunity to test their
understanding and preconceptions of project management at stages during the day.

The course has been designed to address the needs of businesses and has been tailored to provide
an introduction to the fundamentals of Project Management. On completion of the course, you
will be able to:

• Define what a project is
• Understand the role of the project manager
• Identify project management responsibilities (10 main areas)
• Outline activities, techniques and methods for project initiation, project planning, project execution, project monitoring and control, project closure
• Review decision making fundamentals.
  

Cost - £200 per delegate

Dates - Thursday 12 June.
