The Project Framework

Topic: Project Management

Before launching into your project, you need to take an in-depth look at what and who is involved, so that the company invests fully in the project.

The challenge lies in the fact that many factors drive companies to launch projects as quickly as possible, with catastrophic results if enough time wasn't taken to think out the framework.

Part A Learning objectives:

Using practical project examples to demonstrate how to identify your day-to-day difficulties and find ways to deal with them effectively. Create the project charter by using effective tools, videos and interactive activities to help you ask the right questions:

Start identifying the project kick-off drivers and constraints.
How to define the content of the project charter.
To differentiate project stakes and objectives.
