Project Performance Measurement and Management

Course Overview

The Project Performance Review focuses on evaluating projects efficiently and contextually, identifying significant development opportunities, and implementing the leading project and organisational management practices. It describes how these can be implemented to offer stakeholders confidence in the control and without waste delivery of their projects.

How do you evaluate a project’s performance? All projects are expected to have specified objectives and a desired outcome that will cost a certain amount of money and must be completed within a predetermined time frame. Therefore, successful initiatives meet their objectives for cost, schedule, and quality. Performance is measured easily by success or failure, which may work for small, straightforward projects; the success-failure metric could be more practical for most projects.

This 5-day interactive Project Performance Measurement and Management training course is a comprehensive, straightforward, and step-by-step program that equips participants with the knowledge necessary to manage and control the performance of their projects effectively. It is advantageous because it consolidates most of the information one needs to know about project management and its subsets. It provides the participants with the fundamental and practical applications of effective project management and performance measurement. Whether they are a project manager, a project controller, or a lead, this comprehensive course packages the things one needs to know about project controls in a simple and structured way. It equips the trainee with the right tools and gives a deeper level of understanding to boost their competency in controlling the projects they involve.
