Overview:	A Bit About The Course Individuals managing smaller, shorter-term projects often wear multiple hats and have other job duties on top of their project responsibilities. This highly interactive workshop equips such jugglers to deliver great project results more efficiently and with less stress. Participants gain a solid understanding of the four general phases in every project (planning, specifying, building, and implementing) and the four project disciplines (project management, business analysis, product development, and change management). They learn the role of each discipline at each product phase, as well as tools and techniques for staying on schedule and within budget. Using a case study for the exercises, they respond to a variety of simulated project scenarios. This helps participants immediately transfer the new learning to their specific jobs
Skills Gained:	Discover How To Create a solid project plan using a standard methodology Interview project stakeholders to create a detailed set of requirements for the projects end product. Learn to resolve differing stakeholder requirements, acquire needed resources, and manage expectations. Coordinate current weeks activities, monitor progress to identify gaps between what was planned and what actually happened, and adjust the next weeks activities to close the gap. Plan for and manage the change resistance that accompanies projects.
