In this programme of short courses you will gain knowledge and develop skills to support and improve your ability to scope, plan, deliver and implement projects.
Courses in this module:
Imagine you’re given a project to manage. Even though you have heard a lot about project management, you’re not really sure how to start. You may find yourself wondering what people mean when they talk about ‘scope’, ‘Gantt charts’ and ‘deliverables’. This course is designed to help. The basics of project management are broken into five bite-sized sections that are really easy to digest.
Imagine you have a great idea that could revolutionise your organisation. How do you get the project off the ground? After all, you’re going to need sponsorship, investment and resources and how can you be sure you’ll deliver success? The answer is you need a project strategy and business case. This course covers why strategy is so important if you want to win and how a business case can get your project the green light you need.
When you’re faced with a challenge, it can be tempting to jump right in, disregarding any planning in favour of getting on with the job at hand. At the other extreme, project managers have been known to suffer from the dreaded curse of too much planning, where projects never get going despite there being a robust plan with lots of checkboxes, charts and graphs. The key is to get the right balance between planning and action and this course shows you how you can do this using critical path analysis.
The project design stage is one of the most misunderstood phases in project management. This short course provides an overview of why most project managers fail to meet their project objectives. You’ll find out how you can use flow charts to communicate your ideas and learn why even Pixar use proof of concepts on projects.
This course is a bite-sized review of why testing and development are important during a project. The course focuses on a tool you can use to structure testing on your own projects and guarantee continuous improvement.
For most people change is something to fear. Most projects involve some kind of change – so it’s really important that project managers and project teams understand the human behaviour around change and how to use that understanding to get people excited about project deliverables. This course focuses on the five pillars of change and how you can use them to get your organisation ready for change.
Every project has the potential to help you run future projects more efficiently, so this course is designed to help you avoid the project management trap of believing you are too busy to evaluate projects more efficiently. This doesn’t just mean tying up loose ends – it’s about capturing lessons you’ve learned during the project, so that you can benefit from them next time. Although each project will have different requirements, this course will provide you with an overview of the close project process.
This course is available with optional certificated Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours from the Open College Network.
Undertaking Continuing Professional Development helps ensure that both academic and practical qualifications do not become out-dated or obsolete. Obtaining certificated CPD hours means learners can demonstrate a commitment to ‘up skill’ or ‘re-skill’ themselves, regardless of occupation, age or educational level.
