PLANS PROJECTS
BACKWARDS

This international course produces detailed & realistic plans ready for executing complex projects. The planning processes start with 'Objective Statements', for Stakeholder approval. The project solution is then designed, followed by detailed execution planning.

 

Learning lessons from the project is the final stage.

or in-person workshops (8 hours)
+ 1-hour follow-up online coaching

UNIQUE: The unique project execution planning process, ("the most effective method of project execution planning" - PMI), uses easy-to-learn techniques on special wall planning charts or pre-formatted Excel spreadsheets. This process can be added to ‘PRINCE2’ that omits execution planning.

TESTIMONIALS

Pharmaceutical Industry

"After 25 years in the project management field and having undertaken many courses and qualifications, I can confidently state that PPB is the most useful course I have taken.  The course focuses on the most important part of any project, getting it off the ground.  It has fundamentally changed how I plan and initiate projects using a set of tangible tools and techniques that are implementable irrespective of the size or complexity of the project.  It is rare that a course can deliver real change in how you manage something you have done for many years and PPB has successfully achieved this for me.  I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to develop their PM skillset." - John Bourke, Project Director
