Project Management Essentials

The essentials workshop is an activity-based program that gives you the opportunity to learn critical project-management skills through exercises, group discussion and application to a project. Attend Project Management Essentials to learn BOTH the technical and behavioral aspects of project management. You will learn how to plan for and execute the project plan AND how to select and manage the people chosen to be on the project team.

Why Learn Project Management Essentials?

In today’s business world, projects are undertaken every day as part of the ongoing organizational strategy and they often compete for the same company resources. Not surprisingly, many of these projects fail to deliver their stated and agreed-upon outcomes. The common causes of project failure are diverse and run the gamut from poorly defined project scope to project managers who lack experience and training. 

The ultimate cost of project failure can be significant, both financially and in the strain on corporate resources. This program provides the skills and knowledge to increase the likelihood that project deliverables can be achieved, on-time and within budget, while maintaining the integrity of the project team.
