Project Management, Monitoring and Control
To meet project objectives, the project team must be concerned with, identify and implement all necessary activities to achieve specific two-level targets. To be successful, it is not only critical to comply with the project plan but also to assure delivery of the expected benefits. The seminar provides a global view and specific management strategies, tools and techniques for target setting, planning, monitoring and controlling projects and programmes. It will help Project Coordinators and team members in detecting problems or possible performance deviations early on in the execution by using clear project status reports.
