Delivering Fast-Track Projects Successfully

Delivering any project successfully is always a challenge but, in today’s competitive business environment, there is a growing demand to deliver projects faster and cheaper than ever before, without compromising on quality or safety.

This comprehensive 5-day PetroKnowledge training course looks at practical and proven techniques in fast-track project delivery, and uncovers the keys to successful management of these projects.

Project delivery is all about having the right plans, resources and knowledge in place from the outset, with a clear understanding of the project’s values and objectives. Without this, many projects will fail, and most will overrun their schedule and budget, and miss their performance targets. This is never more prevalent than with fast-track projects, where schedules, resources and plans are constantly being squeezed and challenged, and applying traditional methods is seldom good enough.

This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:

• Fast-Track Project Planning & Strategizing
• Managing the Project Triple Constraint
• Project Estimating Techniques
• Project Scheduling Methods
• Critical Fast-Track Project Deliverables & Activities
• Fast-Track Project Risk Management Methods
• Fast-Track Project Control Methods
