A Different Way to Learn An intensive computer-driven simulation presents project management obstacles that threaten to derail your project. Building a roller coaster that runs at hyper speeds with a true 90-degree track drop means a lot can go wrong. And it does. For project success, you must apply your project management knowledge to hurdle these unexpected bumps and steer the project to completion on time and within budget.
Sharpen Your Project Management Skills
Throughout this unique course, you practice and refine critical project management skills, including:
- Outlining the project plan
- Leadership
- Overcoming obstacles
- Decision making
- Defining scope
- Effective scheduling and budgeting
- Managing risk
- Handling change
- Allocating resources
Course Benefits
This course combines project management theory with practice. Immersed in a realistic setting, you gain invaluable experience applying project management tools and techniques in a fail-safe and risk-free environment. You learn how to maintain control in difficult circumstances and make decisions under complex situations amid uncertainty.
Who Should Attend
Managers who need a safe environment to practice their project management skills as well as experienced managers who want to refine their existing project management skill set. Project management experience at the level of Course 296, "Project Management: Skills for Success," or Course 340, "Project Management for Software Development," is assumed.
Through extended experiential activities, you simulate real-world situations and practice project management skills and techniques. Activities include:
- Defining prioritised criteria for project management decisions
- Building team consensus to move your project forward
- Creating a work breakdown structure (WBS) for a complex international project
- Establishing risk factors and values
- Competing with other project management teams to achieve the highest profit margin on a project
- Responding to "Murphy-isms" in a complex project
- Optimising a project as it is running
- Tuning critical path elements for project quality, profit and time
Course Content
| Just like in real life, this course presents obstacles that threaten to derail your project. Building a
roller coaster that runs at hyper speeds with a true 90-degree track drop means a lot can go wrong.
And it does. For project success, you must apply your project management knowledge to hurdle
these unexpected bumps and steer the project to completion on time and within budget.
In this course, you apply project management theories and techniques to steer a complex, simulated
project through all stages of development, including:
- Overseeing all aspects of the project from the overall plan to the minute details
- Identifying project requirements to effectively outline your project
- Making decisions within teams to manage project costs and schedule
- Defining scope with work breakdown structures (WBS)
- Implementing a feasible project schedule and recalculating based on continual changes
- Applying financial planning and cost-accounting techniques
- Leveraging resources and capacity planning despite constraints
- Managing risk and balancing conflicting priorities to ensure project success
