Practical Project Management for Everyone

This course is for participants who want to understand basic project management skills and concepts in a fun and interactive learning environment. Both new and experienced project managers will benefit as practical and proven techniques are woven throughout the course. This highly interactive workshop is designed to give participants a solid foundation in the concepts, tools and techniques of formal project management along with techniques that work in the real world. While introductory in nature, this course is extremely comprehensive, covering the five key process groups, ten knowledge areas and introducing the 49 processes included in the Project Management Institute's global gold standard, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)- Sixth Edition released in late 2017. Participants learn this 750+ page gold standard easily through our exclusive ProjectFlo(TM) 6 game while the majority of the course focuses on the practical essentials to use on any project. We'll follow a fun case study project through the process, so that participants learn how to apply techniques immediately. Finally, the course culminates in team-based, no pressure capstone presentations. The concepts and methods learned are immediately usable in the workplace, leading to a greater retention of newly acquired skills, measurable project improvements, and the achievement of desired project results.
