PPS Advanced project management

Project management in complex projects

Do you have complex challenges in your project?
Do you need more advanced planning methods?
Do you need to coordinate different production models?

The course covers many areas and is a mixture or exercises and theory. The course is an add-on to the basic Project management course and we dig deeper into many of the competencies we addressed in that course, and we also add new areas. We look into how to adjust our project to different productions models – for instance agile – and how to find the most effective strategy to deliver the project result to maximize the contribution to the expected benefit. We also discuss how to best support an ongoing business deal. We discuss how the balance in the organization between line and project impacts our abilities to lead and manage the project. We dig deeper into tools like WBS and milestones, we learn about requirement management, estimations and earned value and how to estimate a correct risk reserve.
