EFFECTIVE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Effective Project Management is a 3-day action-learning course of instruction led by a certified facilitator in a formal classroom environment. It is designed to provide personnel with a practical application and understanding of the project management principles, concepts, tools and techniques applied across the organization, along with the global standards from which they are derived. This effective project management course will teach you how to manage each phase of a project: conceptual, planning, execution, and termination.

The primary objectives of Effective Project Management are to 1) empower personnel with the vocabulary, knowledge competencies and basic performance competencies necessary to intuitively understand and function at a high level in their project implementation and supporting roles and 2) to organize and execute their own day-to-day work in a more efficient manner using modern project management concepts and methods.

Effective Project Management employs effective accelerated adult learning techniques (addressing visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles) to ensure each student succeeds at a high level. The course agenda is action-oriented and fast-paced, allowing students to learn by doing in a simulated project environment. Course exercises begin on the morning of day-1 with students organized in simulated Project Teams (Integrated Product/Project Teams – IPTs) initiating a hands-on project. The effective project management course proceeds with student IPTs planning the project, executing the project, monitoring/controlling the project, then formally closing the project. The last exercise at the end of day 3 requires each student IPT to prepare and present their project using Microsoft project software.

The simulated project involves the planning and construction of a fictitious prototype vehicle. The planning team achieving the highest profit wins a $1B contract to manufacture the inaugural space vehicles.
