Course Overview


This two-day practical course is suited to people with experience in project management who wish to expand their skills with more advanced tools and techniques and take a leadership role in projects. The aim is for learners to be able to lead successful projects through strong communication and organisational and team leadership skills. Content includes strategic project management; project governance and the role of the project sponsor; managing changes to the project scope; project planning and control; and developing an effective project team to achieve project outcomes. Stakeholder communication and information management are also covered.

Learning Outcomes


  • Recognise the need for a project and subsequently initiate it
  • Guide the development of project scope and definition activities including defining the project context, and listing project deliverables, constraints and outcomes
  • Build a project management culture bringing together, motivating and successfully managing and leading multifunctional project teams
  • Develop project plans, schedules and budgets, conduct risk management activities, direct project communications and apply project scope controls
  • Communicate the project strategy and its expected benefits to key stakeholders
  • Evaluate project outcomes and draw lessons from the project for continuous improvement.

ZOOM Virtual Classroom


Our virtual classroom consists of a facilitator teaching the class to students who are dialled in remotely to the class session. Presentation slides and other digital files can be presented during the training session using the Zoom platform and the student may either focus on these resources or the facilitator.

To enable connection, you will require the following set-up:

- Sufficient internet connection – Zoom is successful on a 4G network. Any network better than 4G will enhance the student’s experience;
- A PC with a web-camera, microphone and the capacity to run the Zoom application to allow the facilitator to better interact with students in the same manner as a traditional classroom; and
- Sufficient sized monitor or screen to support the number of students in the room.

"I found the course content and the facilitator to be excellent and engaging. It tied in very well to looking at your own experiences with projects and being able to apply what was learnt."
