Plan for Project Success: Project Planning and Management

This course will teach you how to use project management techniques to organise your projects and make sure they succeed.

You’ll be introduced to the concepts and strategies behind effective project management, and learn how to create a project plan that works for everything from large-scale projects to daily work tasks.

Project plans are a common and effective way of organising work, no matter what your job is. The goal when managing a project is to fulfil your aim on time and on budget. It sounds simple, but the uncertainty and often complex nature of tasks and assignments means that project management can be challenging.

This course explores how it’s possible to plan for project success every time, as well as how to define exactly what success means for you and your projects.

The course is designed to give you core knowledge around project planning and project management, and that means using your problem-solving skills to handle unexpected challenges.

Using case studies and examples from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), you’ll build your confidence for tackling any issues that may come your way when managing projects at an SME.

By examining and analysing specific project scenarios, you’ll discover how to identify successful solutions and improve project management processes at your organisation.

Learning from subject-matter experts in project management and process management and project- and problem-based learning, you’ll feel ready to handle the transition from taking a project plan to project realisation and success.
