Description

Project Management (PM) is the process by which resources are allocated, monitored, and utilized to achieve a particular objective within a specified period of time. QSG’s PM course is designed to provide an intensive overview of the tools and methodologies associated with project management. It includes training on the quantitative and analytical techniques of project management (defining/designing, planning, estimating, scheduling, executing, etc.), as well as qualitative, team building, and people-management skills (leadership, communication, etc.), and the criticality of integrating these techniques and skills towards rendering the completion of a successful project.

During training, students will examine in detail the entire process of designing, implementing, and completing a project, from project definition and the evaluation of feasibility, to scheduling, financing, risk, and budgeting. Students will develop their understanding of project management principles through practical application, by participating in scenarios drawn from real world case analyses. This course also includes a review of contemporary PM techniques and current software options (Microsoft Project).
