Advanced Work Breakdown Structures
|
Understanding the work to be done on a project is one of the most challenging aspects of Project Management. Most projects that go over budget or
schedule do so because the amount of the work to do was underestimated. If your Work Breakdown Structure is complete, then your Budget, Schedules
and Resource Requirements should be relatively accurate as well.
This advanced 2 day course develops and analyses several Work Breakdown Structures for simple and complex projects.

Sizing and Estimation Techniques for Software
|
Software is a product to be built like any other. Ask a bricklayer how long it will take to build a wall and how much it will cost and he will ask you how big
it will be; how long, how wide, how tall etc. We need to think similarly in Software. The problem is software is not 3 dimensional. It is invisible.
It is abstract and conceptual. How then can we put a size to it?
This 2 day course looks at how to put size measures on software. Topics covered include; Function Points, Feature Points, Use Case Points,
COCOMO and COCOMO II software estimation models.

Schedules, Budgets and Resources
|
The work that needs to be done on a project is defined in the Work Breakdown Structure. Once that work is known, then the questions of “How long
will it take?”, “How much will it cost?” and “What do I need to get it done?” need to be answered.
This 2 day course looks in detail at the tools used by the Project Manager to determine Schedule, Budget and Resources Required in order to complete the
project on time and on budget.

Triple Constraints Tradeoff Analysis
|
One of the Project Manager’s most difficult jobs is managing the Triple Constraints, those being Scope, Time and Money. There is only so much product
that can be built in so much time for so much money. A change in one will impact the other two. What if one is fixed? What if two are fixed?
What if two are flexible but one has a higher priority than the other?
Triple Constraints Tradeoff Analysis is a 2 day advanced course for the experienced Project Manager. Understanding how to analyse, negotiate and
manage changes to the triple constraints can prevent future projects from being over budget and over schedule ever again.

Risk Analysis and Management
|
All projects involve risky. Some companies can go under because they take on a major project without understanding the risks involved.
This 2 day course looks at all the areas in Risk Analysis and Management beginning with Risk Planning and continuing with Risk Identification, Analysis
and Responses.
