Project Time Management

Course details

What’s the single most precious resource a business will ever have? In a word – time. All the manpower, technology and competencies in the world are rendered redundant, should there be insufficient time to get things done. It’s no different in the world of project management, where the effectiveness of time utilisation will have a marked impact on the success or otherwise of any project. For project managers, time management means not only the proactive allocation of their own time, but also that of every other participant at every level. The importance and value of flawless time management skills therefore cannot be overstated.
This exclusive tutorial focuses on advanced time management from a project management perspective. Learn how to dissect projects to accurately estimate timeframes, map out key activities and create networking diagrams.
