MGTP: MANAGING TROUBLED PROJECTS (2 DAYS / 14 PDU’s)
| COURSE DESCRIPTION |
|
Most organizations have projects that are running behind schedule, over budget, or failing to satisfy the needs of key project stakeholders. These are known as ‘troubled projects’. This 2-day workshop provides you with tools and techniques you can immediately apply in the workplace; to help you realize that the project is in trouble, recognize the root-causes of the trouble, and then choose the best responses to the problems in order to restore and retrieve, or retire the project. You will also learn the value of capturing lessons-learned, and using preventive measures so that your future projects have a far higher chance of success.
