Course Description
Even before the pandemic, projects encountered challenges such as scope changes, delays, and cost overruns, highlighting the necessity for an integrated project control system encompassing scope, schedule, budget, risk, workflow, and more at the enterprise level. With anticipated changes in the post-crisis era, project control systems must adapt to advancements in digital transformation, cloud computing, and big data. These systems must also integrate new risks to offer a comprehensive yet flexible approach.
This training course on Effective Project Control Systems for Post-Crisis Developments offers practical insights and hands-on training on designing and implementing these advanced systems.
This online training course will feature:
Project control concepts and systems
Planning techniques for post pandemic era
Budgeting, controlling and progress measurements
Analyzing and overcoming project delays and cost overruns
Risk and contract management in the new normal
What you will achieve
By the end of this BII Research online training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the components and modules of an integrated Project Control System (PCS)
- Understand and collect the requirements of the business in post crisis era
- Select the appropriate level of details for ePCS
- Learn how to implement the ePCS including planning, scheduling, budgeting and controlling scope, schedule, cost/budget, risks, changes and records
- Ensure that the ePCS reports are conveying single version of the truth on project status to enable informed decision making by management
How the course is delivered
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. To serve the program goals a mix of different techniques will be used to energize the trainees such as lectures, power-point presentation, application on portfolio analysis tools, structured discussions, brainstorming sessions and case studies.
