STRATEGIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This Strategic Project Management course is designed to provide a complete understanding of project planning, execution, and closure. Across four sessions, it covers critical areas such as project strategy, stakeholder engagement, and risk management. Participants will learn to develop project scope, create Work Breakdown Structures, manage variances, and identify risks. The course also emphasizes execution techniques like monitoring progress and handling change, as well as effective project closure practices. By the end, attendees will be equipped with tools to lead projects successfully from start to finish.
Phase I: Plan techniques
