The tables below set out learning plans for project stakeholders including users who are impacted by the project delivery, Project Sponsors and Project steering team members.
Contact us if you would like details of in house training or coaching support programmes in any of these areas. A guide to further project management resources can be found in our article on delivering better projects faster.
The first table covers training topics to develop a common language and shared understanding of the project management process. In addition setting an agenda for discussion about what to do when, progress through this learning plan also guides the identification of gaps in underpinning systems and processes so that they can be refined to secure the achievement of flawless operation from day 1.
