Copyright (c) 2011 John Reiling
Project Management Training helps us develop our manpower - the strong point every organization could have. This training practices us to better understand our tasks and attain our highest capabilities. It also helps us learn to combine our manpower to reach the objectives in an organization.
Project Planning and Managing are the common classification of Project Management, which is usually used to work according to the plan. So, Project Management Training classes should include resource planning, risk assessment techniques, schedule preparation and tracking, estimation strategies, and resource management. The training must also consider the balance teachings between managing and planning attributes of project management for they have equal importance to carry out a project.
There are many alternatives an organization can choose on how to impart PMP Training to their employees in order to increase their manpower skills. One of it is to have trainers and training system within the walls of the organization. The great advantage of this kind of training is that the organization could save greater costs and be adaptable. Yet, this kind of training might take long before we achieve the maturity stage of each employee.
Another way is to take a PMP training offered by institutions whose specific motive is to train employees in business organizations. If the certain organization doesn't have the necessary materials for the in-house training, then this alternative is a best choice. You could surely save a whole lot of time and energy.
Gathering of good project management books and set up a company library is also a great practice. Train the employees to read these particular books to increase their knowledge about project management and learn more tips on how to boost up their manpower skills and capacities at work. A good example of those books is "Training for profit". It provides guidelines to contribute to the organization's success such as new and unfamiliar ways in working out their manpower. Also, "The Deadline: A Novel About Project Management" is a good management material. It usually talks about training the manpower and relates it with the organization's business accomplishments.
There are also certain skills that are required in order to assemble a team and produce a great project. These are communication skills, cross-cultural competence, interpersonal skills, and the ability to negotiate and effective customer interaction. These attributes brings forth good relationship between employees, therefore, these skills must be included under the Project Management training program.
Project Management Training has been very important to organizations to reach the planned targets in completing desired projects. Project Management sessions are the following:
- project planning - resource planning - risk assessment and estimation techniques - preparation and monitoring of schedules
There are options on what kind of training they want to practice: either internal - within the walls of the organizations, with internal trainers to save money; or external - with the help of professional institutions to save time and energy. Remember that reading managerial books is also necessary to add up more knowledge about project management. And, keep up a good relationship with co-employees to build up a great team and successfully achieve a project.
