Advanced Project Management trainers provide participants with the critical final tools, skills and techniques that project members and emerging project managers need. Participants should already have a thorough understanding of project management, including topics such as preparing a statement of work, setting project goals, scheduling, budgeting, managing project risks, and executing a project, which can be found in Velsoft’s Project Management Fundamentals and Intermediate Project Management training courses. Participants who have completed the three-day intensive Project Management Training course to further develop their skills do not need Advanced Project Management, except as a refresher.
This one-day courseware workshop will help you teach participants how to: think critically when choosing a project team; make the best of an assigned project team; help teams move through various stages to become a high-functioning unit; maximize productivity at team meetings; reward and motivate a team; develop and execute a communication plan; communicate with sponsors and executives more effectively; identify strategies for working with team members who cause problems.
Customizing this courseware to include projects that participants are working through in their real jobs will open a bevy of skill development opportunities that might not have been available otherwise. You can also add your logo, brand the package, and select the sessions that are most relevant to your students. Training materials include a comprehensive instructor’s guide, student workbook, pre-formatted slides, assessments, a quick reference guide, and more.
