Overview
The aim
To give those tasked with managing projects the skills to maximise their team's performance.
About the programme
Not everyone who has to manage a project knows how to do it well. Bad management skills can be a costly drain on time and money, causing frustration and stress for everyone concerned. This programme provides a complete solution to these issues, exploring the techniques for project leaders to better manage their team, and so meet the project's objectives.
Meet the manager who is organising an office move and has made some common mistakes. She has failed to define the objectives of the project properly, her team's responsibilities are not agreed and the project is in danger of failing. Once she is shown the right way to do things, she learns the key stages of successful project management.
Suitable for anyone running a project, whatever its size, this highly watchable programme focuses on project teams, as well as project mechanics, and offers clearly illustrated techniques to put into practice. It is a comprehensive pack, suitable for formal training and individual self-study.

-Learn the right project technique and follow appropriate people management skills to give you a successful outcome
