Essential Project Management Skills Course
Module 3 – Problem reduction on your project

Based upon PRINCE2, PMI APM & CAPM PMBoK, and APM APMP Body of Knowledge best practice.

The third module in the course is directed to the skills and knowledge essential to develop techniques and administrative systems that will reduce the likelihood of the project failing. It is unlikely that any project will ever be problem free, but when the techniques taught on this module are employed on projects the number of problems falls and the projects are seen as successful.

This module draws from PRINCE2 Product Based Planning (PBP); and the PMI PMP & CAPM PMBoK and APM APMP techniques of estimating methods, Critical Path Analysis, project scheduling (including Gantt Charts and Resource Histograms).

Delegates will spend more than 50% of the day using the problem reduction techniques on a ‘live’ project. The trainer is on hand to offer help, advice and guidance on an individual basis.

Topics covered in the Problem reduction on your project Module are:-

1. Introduction to project problems and how to reduce them using PRINCE2, PMP, CAPM, APMP approaches
2. Project Roles and Responsibilities – avoiding problems through lack of clarity of roles and unclear decision making.
   • Supported by case study exercises
3. Stakeholder Management – techniques to identify sources of problems from individuals and groups and how to deal with them using Stakeholder maps, Power Support Matrices, and Communication Plans
   • Supported by case study exercises
4. Fitness for Purpose – using quality planning and control methods to ensure that everything is right first time or at least reducing the amount of rework on a project and thus increasing the chances of coming home on time, to budget and meeting the quality needs.
   • Supported by case study exercises
5. All the above address methods of documenting and processing the information required.

All of the topics covered can be adapted and adjusted to reflect the methods of working within your organization.
