Principles and Techniques of Project Management (3 days)
Learn how to effectively balance the weight of your managerial responsibilities with the expectations of different stakeholders. This course provides an overview of the concepts and principles of project management, which will enable you to oversee your projects efficiently and effectively. An integrated case study gives you a first-hand opportunity to practice the theories and concepts discussed in the course. This class is 100% compliant with the current Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) from the Project Management Institute (PMI®).
In this course, you will learn how to clearly differentiate among project, program, and subproject, identifying contrasting and related characteristics of each; compare and contrast project management to strategic management, operations management, and crisis management, understanding your role in all of these relationships; define the role of project manager while addressing the expectations of different project stakeholders; and develop essential management deliverables such as project charters, scope statements, work breakdown structures, activity lists, duration estimates, network diagrams, and risk analysis.
Project Management Fast Track (5 days)
As a project manager, do you feel confident in your ability to effectively plan, execute, control, and close the projects that are assigned to you? If not, or if you’d like to learn to perform your job more easily, look no further—this five-day class from Oriel, offered in partnership with Boston University’s Corporate Education Center, will give you the background and tools you need to optimize your role in the project management process. Even better, this course will help you prepare for Project Management Professional® (PMI) certification from the Project Management Institute® (PMI).
A case study is threaded throughout the program and includes activities that enable participants to apply the lessons that they’re learning. The curriculum is presented in dual fashion: PMI theories are presented and then supplemented with examples from the course instructors’ project management experiences. This combination of theoretical and practical will give you a more intensive presentation of the material, so that you can absorb—and retain—it more thoroughly.
Prerequisites for this course are a minimum of 2–4 years experience working in a project manager role and leading a team, familiarity with and understanding of PMI® and the PMBOK® Guide, and/or interest in and sufficient experience (4,500 hours over 5 years) to take the PMI certification exam.
