Project Management Proposal

- Demonstrate!the!ability!to!manage!small!projects!and!the!project!office!in!a!business!environment
PHILOSOPHY:
Having the swimming pool in the house does not automatically make occupants swimmers. Nowadays, many corporates and institutions are executing projects. The fundamental is take that has been done is to embrace Project Management is a discipline on its own. As a results many projects are not completed on time, within budget and let alone meeting quality requirements. The main contributing factor to this is “accidental project manager” syndrome. There are unique skills, tools and techniques needed for anyone to manage a project successfully. Same as the opening analogy above–for any one to swim without drowning he or she needs to have knowledge, skills, tools and techniques on “how to swim”.
BENEFITS:
The workshop will build project management competency which! will help participants to be more effective and efficient in their work and personal environments.
