Want to distinguish yourself as an exceptional project manager and quickly rise to the top? Then this course is for you.

Being involved in project management you may well know that this industry is growing at an immense rate, that despite the job market uncertainties brought about by the 4th industrial revolution.

The Project Management Institute (PMI), probably the most recognized authority on project management worldwide, estimates that job growth in the project management industry will be a staggering 33% or 22 million jobs by 2027. So, if you further your education as a project manager you know you will have the job security that very few industries can still provide. The next step is of course to distinguish yourself as one of the industry leaders and start earning a high end salary.

This course is an excellent starting point to do just that!

Project management is an extremely intricate field and requires you to have knowledge in a vast majority of technical fields. The 5 processes ranging from project initiation to project closure are all extremely important pieces of the overall puzzle and you will need to master them all to distinguish yourself as one of the best. One thing that all those who are well versed in the field agrees on though, is the fact that great project management is about delegating the actual project work and focusing your energy as the project manger on monitoring and controlling the health of your project.  This is were you make the BIG difference, and where you catch the eyes of the client and upper management.

This course is designed to arm you with the essential knowledge you require to lay a solid foundation for project health monitoring.

The course will cover all the project health monitoring essentials. We will also be looking at the importance of proper monitoring and control and how you can effectively and efficiently incorporate good EVM practices into your monitoring strategy. We will  also be working through some guided practical examples and you will  have a chance to apply what you have learned on a few practical exercises. The course also places some emphasis on good control measures and we will work through guidelines that will help you effectively implement change control procedures. The course ends of with an assessment that will not only help you gauge what you have learned but also test you in a practical setting. Furthermore I will also be sharing some of my own personal project health reporting templates and per-programed Excel sheets that you can use and adopt for your own projects.

The course design caters for those who already have the foundational knowledge of project management and are familiar with the PMI project management methodology.  Beginners are however welcome to take it up as well as the course is structured to add value to all project management professionals.
