Summary:
Project management is not just restricted to certain
industries, or to individuals with certification as a
project manager. Lots of us are expected to complete
assignments that are not a usual part of our job, and to get
the job done well, within our budget, and on time.
This
workshop is intended for those who understand the conceptual
phase of a project's life cycle, including setting goals,
creating a vision statement, and creating the Statement of
Work. Today will take you through the remaining three
stages: planning, execution, and termination.
What
Really Needs To Be Done?
This
session will look at identifying and listing tasks and
resources.
The
Work Breakdown Structure
The
Work Breakdown Structure, or WBS, is a key planning tool
universally recognized by project management organizations.
During this session, we will discuss what a WBS is and how
to create one.
Scheduling Techniques
Now
that we know what tasks need to be done and the approximate
order, it is time to schedule the tasks. We will look at how
to estimate time and some scheduling considerations during
this session. We will also look at some planning tools,
including the Gantt chart, milestone charts, action planning
worksheets, network diagrams, and flow charts
Budgeting Tips and Tricks
The
next step in planning the project is budgeting. Participants
will learn about budgeting through a lecture, and then they
will apply the knowledge to a case study.
Assessing Project Risks
This
session will examine what risks are and how we can identify
and manage them.
Preparing the Final Plan
All of
the planning that we have done today will come together to
create the final project plan.
Making
it Fit
So
you've got all your documents prepared and you're ready to
execute your project. And then you find out you need to get
it done two weeks sooner... or $40,000 cheaper. During this
session, we will look at ways to compress the project's
schedule and budget.
The
Execution Phase
This
session will look at some things you should do while
executing your project, including status meetings and issues
management.
Controlling Changes
During
the execution of the project, you need to have a process in
place for managing changes. This session will outline a
change control process that you can use on any project.
Closing out a Project
During
this session, we will discuss some things that should take
place during the termination or close-out phase of a
project.
Workshop Wrap-Up
At the
end of the course, students will have an opportunity to ask
questions and fill out an action plan.

We hired Rick to provide two completely different
presentations to our sales force and our customer service
teams. Both events were lively, dynamic and exciting. We
loved how he combined stage magic with his unique insights
in both of these specialties. We were all very impressed
with his highly creative programs. We loved his passion and
enthusiasm as a business speaker. Still trying to figure out
how he knew where we hid his paycheck. Totally impossible.
More impressive than when Kreskin did that!
