The Certificate in Project Management Best Practices training course provides comprehensive guidance for managing projects of any size or complexity. It establishes a firm foundation in project management, covering every stage from a project’s outset through to its successful completion.
The course examines the fundamental differences between projects and operational activities, while showing why projects are essential for operational change. It explains how recognised best-practice management techniques guide a project throughout its life cycle. This journey progresses from Inception through Definition, Execution, Monitoring and Control, before reaching Closure.
The project life cycle incorporates hard project management skills, including scope, schedule, resource and cost management. It also involves the soft skills required for project delivery, such as team leadership, stakeholder management, project communications and conflict management.
Because project management is regarded as a vital organisational competency, the course considers how the Project Manager works with other key roles. These include the Project Sponsor, Project Team, Steering Group and Project Management Office, each of which is responsible for aspects of an organisation’s project management capability.

- Introducing the principles and practices of project management
