Project Management Basics: The Work Shop Overview This “hands on” workshop is designed to give newly assigned project team members an understanding of project management basics, and the regulatory, technical, and behavioral responsibilities and accountabilities. As a participant, you will learn and practice project management basics in each of the five stages of project management, from initiating to closing the project. You will be able to contribute more quickly and effectively in project team assignments, and instruct others on the technical and behavioral responsibilities and accountabilities within the project team. Project Management Basics (fundamentals) are key to project success, for organizations and individuals regardless of project complexity and size (scope). All team members need to have a sound understanding of project management basics, the technical requirements and the behavioral skills to work with others effectively and successfully. Team members contribute more timely and at a higher level when they are well trained and well treated. This course provides the participants with the basic/fundamental technical knowledge and the behavioral skills. Newly assigned project team members; individuals with project responsibilities; project trainers; and, individuals from human resources, manufacturing, finance, purchasing, marketing and sales, logistics, and engineering who need a general understanding of project responsibilities and accountabilities will benefit from the systematic and logical presentation of the technical and behavioral basics gleaned from the experiences, and teachings, of successful project team members/leaders/managers.
