Project Management for IT Professionals

Overview

Today’s technology projects present unique challenges to organizations of all types and sizes. Increasing global competition coupled with shrinking resources, requires project managers to make the utmost of those resources by delivering results that meet stakeholder expectations - and to deliver them on time and within budget. 

Designed for the first-line project manager or project leader, this workshop covers those subjects the leader must know in order to plan, schedule, and control a project. These subjects include estimating techniques, PERT and Gantt charts, resource allocation, status reporting, etc. All information presented by a certified Project Management Professional (PMP)® credential holder is consistent with the Project Management Institute’s (PMI)® PMBOK® Guide. 

A portion of the course is spent on managing the project manager’s time, particularly delegating and managing meetings. Most importantly, students will learn how to deliver projects on time and within budget. 

At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will complete a Personal Action Plan. This plan will assist participants in applying program content in the workplace. The Personal Action Plan also encourages participants to create self paced learning projects and determine next steps for personal growth and development.
