| Many
companies and organizations are discovering the effectiveness
of using a project management approach to implement strategic
initiatives, provide unique products and services to customers,
and involve the right resources at the right time to significantly
reduce cost and cycle time.
Project management is not new, just rediscovered. It is a
disciplined approach designed to produce unique results on
time and within budget while getting employees involved with
a real, measurable goal.
The
Xavier Consulting Group offers a comprehensive approach that
incorporates an orientation to the body of knowledge, specific
skill set training, and a full certification program.
The material is based upon the Project Management Institute’s
(PMI) body of knowledge, the Construction Industry Institute’s
(CII) research, and experiences of project management practitioners.
All courses are PMI certified and qualify for Xavier’s
continuing education credits.
Participants
will increase their knowledge and skills in project management.
Better yet, they will learn to think like project managers.
Project managers are responsible for significant corporate
resources, sometimes for millions of dollars. A project manager
needs to use these resources wisely to provide value to the
project’s customers. This type of thinking is crucial
to project management.
Certification
consists of attending the full six days of training plus submitting
assignments unique to each of the three modules. The assignments
together constitute a complete project. The participants learn
concepts in class, practice these concepts in workshops using
a project case study, then reinforce the concepts with the
assignments.
Courses
include:
-
Module I: Understanding the Project Process
-
Module II: Project Planning and Scheduling
-
Module III: Project Execution and Control
It
is highly recommended that the modules be taken in order.
