This workshop focuses on the technical aspects of project management. We look at the role of the project manager in the planning process, issues of project control and the implications of change management during the process.

The practical one day course provides a good introduction to some of the techniques such as critical path analysis, network analysis and risk assessment as well as designing control systems and monitoring progress. The use of case studies and practical exercises throughout the day helps focus on important issues and highlight learning points.

The course compliments the "Project Management - The People" workshop.
