Introduction

According to the Project Management Association (UK), project management is the application of processes, methods, skills, knowledge, and experience to achieve specific project objectives in accordance with agreed acceptance criteria within defined parameters.

One of the key factors that distinguishes project management from general “management” is that it has a final deliverable and a finite time span—unlike ongoing operations management. Because of this, a project professional requires a wide range of skills: technical expertise, people management capabilities, and strong business awareness.

This training course enables participants to:

  • Understand and practice effective methods of project coordination to ensure successful completion and timely delivery.
  • Learn what it takes to become a successful and effective project coordinator.
  • Avoid common obstacles and issues faced in project management.
  • Proactively identify project requirements based on business objectives.
  • Select, manage, and lead project teams effectively.
  • Plan and control projects successfully.
  • Coordinate and integrate projects, people, suppliers, and stakeholders effectively.

  • Select, develop, and manage human resources effectively.

  • Learn how to manage project documentation and reporting.
  • Identify potential risks, mitigate uncertainties, and manage risks effectively.

Methodology

This program primarily relies on participatory and interactive learning methods, including:

  • Structured discussions and group work
  • Brainstorming sessions and case studies
  • Role-playing and practical simulations
  • Engaging training games that relieve stress and encourage active participation

The approach combines training and consulting, where instructors support participants in directly and personally contributing to the development of management and leadership capabilities within their organizations.
