Certified Project Leader: Project Planning, Scheduling, Monitoring, Reporting and Control Course
Introduction:
Countless numbers of projects undertaken by organizations in the private and public sectors significantly overrun the project schedule and budget, and as a consequence fail to achieve the organization’s financial and strategic objectives, often with sizable increases in costs and substantial financial losses to the organization. Why? This is due mainly to the failure of many project managers to successfully apply the tools and techniques of modern project planning, monitoring, control, and progress reports on their projects.
Course Objectives:
This 5-day course will provide you with a proven set of methods, processes, tools, and techniques to develop a systematic and dynamic project plan to ensure progressive monitoring and reporting of project progress.

- Develop project network diagrams for CPM and advanced PERT calculations to identify schedule and cost risks
- Maintain continuous project performance and delivery control
- Accurately estimate and allocate project costs and resources
- Measure, forecast, and control project performance by employing earned value techniques
