PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR TRAINERS
 
You have all the good intentions, but it still seems that once course development gets going you abandon all plans and just do it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and most of the time you have no idea how it ever got done.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Individuals attending this session are involved in one or more of the following areas:
  • Accurately defining a course development project.
  • Planning, tracking, and controlling multiple development projects.
  • Evaluating project status and make effective changes.
WHAT THE SESSION PROVIDES
The activities of course development can take on a life of their own if they are not properly managed. The Project Manager has a critical role whose responsibility is to plan, organize and control the course development effort. If you are looking for concrete steps to improve your project management skills, this session is for you.

  • Design a course to meet a specific training need.
