Project Management (2 Day)
Project Management (2 Day)
A Practical Approach
2 Day Course
Many organizations face out-of-control costs brought on by projects that are full of changes, past deadline, over budget and that require more resources than originally projected. After learning and applying FranklinCovey's Project Management process, participants will feel better prepared to effectively start, manage and complete their projects, regardless of size, scope, budget, or previous project management experience.
Our unique approach encourages attendees to bring real projects for a truly hands-on experience. We invite whole teams to attend together, creating opportunities to unite and to learn solutions for specific challenges. The one-day training is ideal for those with no previous project management training and an increasing number of project oriented assignments.
FranklinCovey's Project Management workshop involves four-steps: visualizing, planning, implementing and closing. This proven approach helps project managers and their teams create, plan, implement, and complete successful projects on time and within budget.
