The Key To Project Success: Project Planning 15 August 2011 • Park Rotana, Abu Dhabi, UAE Seminar Timings: 9:00 – 13:00 with registration at 8:30.
You are entitled to 4 PMI PDUs Planning is the highest single factor that affects project success or failure. Next to communication skills, this is where the knowledge, skills and experience of project managers are needed the most. Planning is all about setting the desired values and designing the map for creating them with available resources and constraints. The PMBOK® stipulates that in order for projects to have a high probability of success, nine (9) distinct areas must be planned. During seminar “A”, delegates are introduced to Initiation and Scope Planning. During this seminar, delegates will become familiar with five (5) more planning (knowledge) areas: • Time planning – how to create schedules that are realistic • Cost planning – how much will it cost, and when would the costs be incurred • Procurement planning – deciding on what will be purchased, how, when and from whom • Communications planning – who needs to know what, when and how. Managing stakeholders expectations • HR planning – what resources will be needed? How to get them, retain and motivate them and when to release Seminar C

How to reduce targets not met?

Seminar D
17 August 2011 • Park Rotana, Abu Dhabi, UAE Seminar Timings: 9:00 – 13:00 with registration at 8:30.
You are entitled to 4 PMI PDUs Project risk management has been identified as one of the most critical factors in project success. Even though the concept of risk is a bit “mysterious” through the terms describing it, it is actually essential in our lives! In this seminar, risk terms will be translated into common everyday thoughts and actions, then applied to project management systematically to increase the probability of project success. By attending this seminar you will be exposed to: • The concept of risk; probability and impact translating risk concepts into actions • Project risk management cycle • Finding out what risks you need to deal with – risk identification, classification, quantification, prioritisation • How to deal with risk – response strategies, contingency planning • Project risk management documentation Seminar E

You are entitled to 4 PMI PDUs One of the most challenging aspects of projects is how to find out project status to be able to project the future. Historically, the project schedule was tracked separately from project costs, leading to in-accurate status representations. Learn the primary tool used currently in monitoring status of projects and projecting future results, while combining scope, time and cost. By attending this seminar you will understand: • Monitoring and control as management functions • The concept of Earned Value Management (EVM) and basic terms used to describe project status • Derived EVM formulae to project the future • Reporting using EVM
