Therefore, this course will covers the essentials of establishing a proper baseline (plan) and then move into the steps of project control, including project performance data, performance analysis, and forecasting. The workshop also covers the essentials of project change management and will touch on the specific differences between managing fixed price contracts vs. reimbursable cost contracts.
Course Outline
The course is practical workshop with a mix of presentations, discussions (Q&A), and extended group exercises. The group exercises will be a realistic and related to real projects.
