Topics to be presented include:

1. • What is a Project?
   • Project Life Cycle
   • The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
   • Critical Path Method (CPM)
   • Interdependencies
   • Schedule Development
   • Estimating Techniques
   • Resource Planning
   • Updating and Analyzing the Project Plan
   • Creating Baselines
   • Reporting

Earned Valued Project Management (3 days)

This session focuses on Earned Value management (or Performance Management), a project planning and control system that goes beyond the traditional concept of comparing the amount of project time elapsed against the amount of actual budget spent to give project managers a comparison of actual value of work accomplished against the planned value of work scheduled. Topics to be presented include:

1. • Introduction to Earned Value project management
   • Organizing project authorized work
   • Project planning and budgeting
   • Project control
   • Reporting project performance (Earned Value) data
   • Performance management related topics

Project Risk Management (3 days)

Projects are often running into trouble even when well planned and sound controlled methods are employed. The common reason is that threats to the project are not clearly identified and actions to control these threats are not properly implemented. The focus of this session is on risk identification, risk assessment, risk response development and risk control. Topics to be presented include:

1. • Risk management overview
   • Types of risk
   • Risk tolerance levels
   • Risk factors
   • Definition of risk management
   • Risk management process
   • Risk management planning

1. • Cost management activities
   • Project life cycle
   • Cost estimating
   • Cost estimating schedule
   • Cost budgeting and contingencies
   • Cost control and earned value management
   • Cost forecasting

Project Time Management (3 days)

Project success depends on the quality and effective/efficient use of time management. The focus of this session is on the planning and control of the project schedule. Areas of concentration are scheduling based on the Work Breakdown Structure, activity definition and sequencing, duration estimation, schedule development and schedule control. Topics to be presented include:

1. • Activities definition process
   • Sequencing activities
   • Dependencies analysis Network diagrams (ADM, PDM, PERT)
   • Activity duration estimating
   • Schedule development
   • Critical Path Method (CPM)
   • Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
   • Resource loading and leveling
   • Duration compression
   • Project Management software
