An Introduction to Project Management
Delivering project outcomes in full and on time (DIFOT), to the required quality and on budget requires a discipline, a suite of tools and a special skillset that includes strong leadership, organisational and communication skills. Our Introduction to Project Management workshop is based on well-established methodologies designed to provide participants with a complete framework and toolset for planning, executing, monitoring and closing projects.
About our Project Management Training
In this video, Chris Baker, founder and principal business advisor at Kallista Consulting, talks about how our Project Management Training can help develop the skills and disciplines needed to boost the capability of your project management team.
Project Management Requires a Disciplined Approach
Deliver in full & on time
Establishing sound project management disciplines is essential for projects. To meet their deadlines and budgets, project managers must have good planning skills, oversight of scope creep, and an ability to communicate and manage resources efficiently.
Manage stakeholders
Effective communication is crucial in project management. Having structured communication plans aligned to stakeholder needs ensures that key stakeholders are both listened to and informed, avoiding errors, conflicts, and delays in project execution.
Deliver quality outcomes
Sound project management planning and oversight avoids the rushed or incomplete work than can happen as teams cut corners to meet deadlines. Having a framework that accurately documents stakeholder requirements and builds in the necessary quality checks avoids significant rework and improves the project's outcomes, enhancing the organisation's reputation.
