- a course for non-project managers

Audience  

This course is aimed at anybody responsible for managing projects of any size within the publishing industry including product launches, system migrations, departmental restructuring, sales planning, marketing campaign execution, new market entry, vendor selection, changes in pricing policy and strategy implementation.

It is assumed that delegates will have little or no formal project management training.  The course is aimed at staff working in product management, project management, production, sales, marketing, customer service, operations, finance and senior management.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course, the intention is for delegates to be:

• Confident in their ability to take on projects of any size

• More productive and efficient, resulting in less overwhelm and fire-fighting

• Familiar with a new project management tool that enables them to run projects of any size and level of complexity from a single sheet of paper

• Skilful at managing multiple projects, providing updates for everybody involved and seeing at a glance where attention needs to be focussed

• Ready to put their new skills and techniques into practice immediately to impact their job the day they return to the office

Description

We all have to manage projects.  Whether you are launching a new online product or a marketing campaign, moving office, migrating to a new system or implementing your company’s strategy, we are often managing projects without the support of a professionally trained project manager.  We are expected to deliver more with less and it mustn’t go wrong on our watch!

If this sounds familiar, then help is at hand! In this course we introduce a simple and free project management tool that enables you to run projects of any size and any level of complexity from a single sheet of paper, providing you with all the key information you need, enabling you to stay on track and deliver on time and on budget.

The course is very practical with a mix of tools and techniques as well as specially designed exercises to enable you to leave the course ready to implement the tools in your projects immediately.  Exercises, worksheets and handouts are provided for you to take away.
