Total Project Management

The rate at which projects are growing in size and complexity is continuously increasing. As such, the importance of improving the way we manage projects, from planning through execution, to final hand-over, is now more crucial than ever before. Through the use of advanced technologies, coupled with increased multi-national collaborations, the demand on production, safety, and quality continues to grow to levels that were previously considered unachievable. This has resulted in the way in which projects are managed needing to take a quantum leap forward.

This PetroKnowledge Total Project Management training course reviews the fundamental principles of project management, which form the bedrock of every successful project, and exposes the key attributes needed to optimize project delivery.

This Total Project Management training course will highlight the following:

• Developing effective project management strategies
• Establishing key project control parameters
• Identifying and Managing Project Stakeholders
• Understanding why some projects fail
