PMBOK® Guide could be a treasure to all project managers. It is a matter of how to unleash the power of the Guide. Project management professionals may study the PMBOK® Guide for examination purposes rather than using it in projects. Project leaders may still be unsure about how to practice the methodology. This requires a lateral approach to interpret the methodology and convert it into daily practices.

Course Objectives

This is a one-day course which aims to provide practical guidance on helping project stakeholders decode the PMBOK® Guide and maximize its values. Participants will study the key terms that are difficult to understand or implement. In the workshop, participants will view the PMBOK® Guide very differently and apply it in live projects.  

The course will cover the following contents:

• The key success factors of a project from the PMBOK® Guide
• The sideways interpretation of the features
• Re-visit: Why Project? Why to be a Project Manager?
• How to identify a problem project at the beginning?
• How to give PM the upper hand?
• How to recover from a problem project under pressure?
• How to spend resources more wisely?
• How to motivate others without authority?
• The development processes of the WBS and Gantt Chart
• Be a running man – knowing The UP-UP model
  • The Area under Control (Where?)
  • Understanding Values (what?)
  • Pursuit of values (why?)
  • Understanding your plan (How?)
  • Productivity killer (Who? When?)

Audience

• Project Managers and professionals
• Project leaders having no clues to ensure project success
