"Finally a course that teaches the 'how' of project
management from an experienced veteran."
– Karin Brame

Hi, I've taught more than 330 PM courses to more than 3,300 people in the Ottawa region, and would be pleased to help your team as well!  This course provides a deeply practical description of how to use the proven Project Management Institute (PMI) process to manage your projects of any size, from any domain, in the simplest and most effective way.  You will obtain benefits immediately.

First the most important concepts in PM are reviewed.  Then the critically important role and key skills of the Project Manager are described.  Then the PM best practices are mapped across the project time-line, and the specific actions you need to take at each step are explained in an easy to follow thread.  The use of software tools to support the PM process is explained.  Hands-on exercises are provided to provide practical skills you can apply right away.  At the end of this course you will not only understand project management, you will be able to implement it.

All attendees receive:

• Book. Going well beyond slides, a copy of the 250 page book Deeply Practical Project Management that provides comprehensive coverage of the PM best practices to help you manage your projects large and small.

• Videos. (New!) Unique in the industry and not available anywhere else, all attendees now receive free access to more than 200 videos walking through the entire PM process, covering all topics included in the book, that you can refer to anywhere, at any time, to help you manage your projects and further your career.

• Example. A complete set of professional PM documentation for the Magical Devices Version 3 project that you can reuse for your own projects, including a Project Charter, Stakeholder Register, Work Breakdown Structure, Precedence Diagram, Project Management Plan, Gantt Schedule, Risk Register, and more.

• MS Office Guide. The document Project Planning With MS Office, describing how to use the Microsoft Office applications to document your project's scope, schedule, and budget.

• Templates. Microsoft Office templates for all the key PM documents.

• Certificate. A certificate documenting you have earned 14 Professional Development Units (PDU's), and giving you the credential Practical Project Manager (PPM).

Whether you are a new Project Manager, an experienced PM looking for a review of the best practices, or someone that supports projects and wants to understand the formal process, this course will help you advance your projects and your career.   The course also provides excellent preparation for those pursuing a PMP or CAPM certification with the Project Management Institute.  Please contact us for more information and to schedule some dates!
