Course Overview
Failure to execute project management practices effectively is one of the key causes
for project failure. It has far
reaching implications, yet a large number of project managers
have risen through the ranks with little formal education in best
practices. This seminar will introduce the essential disciplines
and best practices that every project project leader or project manager should know.
This seminar will help attendees learn how to apply best practices
within their own software development organization for increased
control and successful delivery of software development projects.
This proven material is based on sound principles that have been
applied successfully on projects in software and other industries
worldwide. The focus is on practical techniques rather than theory,
and the principles described are applicable to projects of any size. Read
