“Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs"
Henry Ford, US automobile manufacturer (1863-1947)
Many IT and software projects still fail to hit their target - the implications and cost to a business can be huge. Whilst much attention is lavished on the technical aspects, the management of a project is often in the hands of people who are technically competent but inexperienced in project management.
This three day intensive project management training workshop provides practical and proven techniques guaranteed to keep the project on the rails. It is the result of many years experience of project work and includes numerous examples, helpful tips and practical learning.
The workshop is based on Australian Institute of Project Management and PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) recommendations.
Is this the right course for you?
This project management training course is suitable for all computer professionals who are responsible for the implementation of small to large projects; business project managers who require an understanding of how IT projects are implemented.

Post-workshop work
All IRM courses are practical workshops, led by instructors with real-world business analysis experience. Each workshop is oriented around a fully worked case study with an emphasis on practical work, both individually and in teams. Each delegate takes away a comprehensive course manual - much more than a collection of slides, the manual is a valuable guide for future reference and contains numerous checklists and templates.
One thing we guarantee - these are "roll your sleeves up" courses with an emphasis on doing, participation, interaction and learning.
PMT is learn by doing... practical, hands-on, intensive... and fun!
