All organisations run projects – whether they
are large or small, short or long term in scope, service-oriented or
manufacturing based. Projects
represent the future of an organisation. Without projects there would not be
any new product development, research and development, feasibility studies,
market surveys, market launches, quality and productivity improvement
studies, technology upgrades, installation and commissioning of new
equipment, IT-supported activities, mergers and acquisitions, etc. Project management is now seen as a
required management skill. Successfully planned and managed projects
could translate into higher returns for a company’s investment in its
projects and more productive subsequent utilisation of its resources. Together, these issues may have a
significant impact on a company’s competitiveness. Organisations may conduct their projects informally but this is
not the same as saying that they do not need to acquire and develop project
management skills and knowledge. Companies that are able to manage their
projects will also realise an improvement in their work culture and
relationship with external parties such as customers, suppliers, government
agencies and the general public. The
trends indicate that companies face increasing pressure to reduce their
costs, improve quality, shorten lead times, and upgrade their service
levels. A well-trained project team
led by capable managers would enhance a company’s competitive positioning and
this is an issue that they cannot afford to ignore. Changes in the business environment demands that projects be
planned and managed well to ensure continued survival and success. This programme is based on the framework
developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI) in the U.S.A. and
described in the publication A Guide to the Project Management Body of
Knowledge, 3rd edition (PMBOK® Guide). This
programme is also suitable as an introduction to participants who are
planning to take the Project Management Professional (PMP®) examination. |
