Project Management SPL® Workshop

(1 of 3 PMP Track)

In this workshop participants learn the fundamental tools and techniques of planning and managing a project from beginning to end. Good project managers understand how to develop a Project Charter and use it to create a Work Breakdown Structure, Network Diagram and Gantt (Bar) Chart. Having the fundamental tools for planning is only one part of good project management. Using the tools in the execution of the project to help you manage the four key project variables of schedule, scope, cost and quality is where successful project managers find the real benefit.

The best project managers also know that the “fifth” key project variable; team productivity, is critical to managing the other four variables. That is why this workshop also emphasizes and provides real-life practice in learning leadership and teambuilding.

In teams of four, participants actually manage a simulated real-life project. They learn what it feels like as they make real decisions and get real feedback. The simulation powered learning is practical, engaging, intense and challenging.  It’s designed to give you the practice and confidence to apply your new skills.

About Simulation Powered Learning®

Simulation Powered Learning® is a unique approach to training that was created by Fissue Training. It incorporates hands-on experience into course work rather than the traditional lecture/textbook methods of teaching. We begin by giving you the base of knowledge you need in each class. We then immerse you in computer-simulated situations that take you through real-life project management successes and mistakes – both critical to learning. SPL® takes you far beyond the traditional “listen and practice once” model to provide hands-on learning experiences by planning and managing projects from beginning to end.
