EXECUTE PROJECT PLANS
ON TIME
This international course provides the tools & techniques for projects to be delivered on time & budget. The project execution plan, using Microsoft PLANNER, is visible to all to assign Tasks and monitor progress + easy to identify bottlenecks or overruns and engagement/disengagement.
The Project Team and Stakeholders are kept fully up-to-date with progress and any issues that need management attention. Individuals can also use PLANNER for their operational work.


Instructor-led online webshops ( 2 x 2.5 hours)
