Project Planning, Execution & Quality Control

Programme Overview

This module is designed to assist managers and entrepreneurs to implement methodologies, tools and techniques needed to manage both the execution phase and the monitoring and controlling the phase of a project. Emphasis on synthesising project requirements for cost and scheduling processes, as well as risk management. This module also provides an analysis of the principles, tools, and techniques for the execution, monitoring, and controlling of project performance, specifically schedule, cost, and scope. You will learn the tools, techniques, and software needed to establish a project baseline and control the impact of changes to schedule and cost. Topics include network diagrams, estimating time and resources, creating the project baseline, controlling the baseline, crashing the network, optimisation and heuristics techniques for resource allocation, earned value management, and statistical control tools.
