Integrated Project Execution, Monitoring and Control
Overview/Description Target Audience Expected Duration Lesson Objectives Course Number Overview/Description
Most projects experience problems and unforeseen events that pose a threat to successful completion. Thankfully, there are many proven project management processes designed to direct, monitor and control project work. For example, project baselines for schedule, cost, scope and quality give the project manager firm foundation by which to monitor project work and upon which to base decisions. When problems arise, strategies for managing changes help get the project back in line. This course will equip project managers with skills to manage change in an integrated fashion so that, for example, changes to scope are reflected appropriately in the quality, schedule and cost baselines. The Project Integration Management knowledge area includes six processes, ranging from the creation of the project charter at the beginning of a project through to the close of a project or phase. This course covers the inputs, tools and techniques and outputs of the third and fourth processes: Direct and Manage Project Execution and Monitor and Control Project Work. Through interactive learning strategies and realistic scenarios, the learner explores these concepts and gains a better understanding of the project integrative processes in action. This course is aligned with A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) - Fourth Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), Inc., 2008.
