E – 1488 Project Management for Engineering Professionals
$175.00
Courses Included
This course presents an overview of modern practices in effective management of technical projects and engineering professional’s participation in this process.
It starts with discussion about the engineering personnel’s involvement in Project Management and definitions of the project, triple constraint and work breakdown Structure.
This is followed by the numerous chapters covering all major processes of Project Management, including:
- Estimating
- Scheduling
- Definition of Scope
- Procurement process
- Risk management
- Project communications
- Project baseline and control
- Performance measurement
Explanations are supported by numerous down-to-earth examples to improve the retention of material.
The last part of the course is covering one of the most effective methods of project control – Earned Value Analysis (EVA), showing participants how to use EVA metrics to forecast project outcome and define corrective actions if needed. Extensive case study of EVA application is presented as well.
This course is applicable to any engineering professionals looking to expand their knowledge and experience in modern project management to become a valuable member of Project Team, for example:
- Project engineers
- Designers
- Field personnel
- Construction supervisors
- Engineering managers
