Overview
The workshop focuses on establishing the essential elements of a project business case; which elements to develop first; and how each essential element of the business case interacts to provide the total project picture of the project ready for execution. A case study is developed throughout the workshop to enable participants to gain practical experience with the tools and techniques taught.
Intended Outcomes
At the end of this program participants will be able to:
- a more effective project planning process e.g. development of a business case;
- enhanced understanding and ability for the application of project management concepts and skill sets including the tool-set provided;
- an enhanced understanding that project management is a creative problem-solving process about managing relationships and change;
- an understanding that project management is a participative and shared process; and
- a focus on the business rationale for projects rather than a technical focus e.g. Benefits Realisation.
