Project Management Training guide 101
By Mansi gupta
Project management refers to a planned and systematized way to successfully accomplish a particular task. Project management is about setting targets, developing strategies that focus on minimum use of resources, choice of resources and setting deadlines and budgets.
Few decades ago project management was to be taught and learnt while working or doing a related job. But now project management training is provided off the field with aid of specialized courses. These courses cover the various aspects in project management like handling projects, planning, handling client expectations, designating work, tracking the progress of the report etc.
The certified programs are designed to inculcate and develop the requisite insight and skills for effective project management. As Kevin Graf, a senior manager supply and operations at Prism Sulphur puts it "Professionally run courses allow you the opportunity to learn at your own pace in a comfortable group setting environment."
Today many institutes offer project management courses at different levels. For instance the course offered by the Project Management Institute is ideal for students with an IT background. While project management can be learnt at affordable rates by doing an online degree course with International Webmasters Association.
Learning project management online is quite in these days. Several universities such as the Avila University, American Sentinel University, Villanova University, Mindleaders, Serebra Learning Corp etc. offer this course through Internet.
Lately UK's Office of Government Commerce (OGC) that works with public sector organizations in order for them to acquire better value for money from their commercial activities, enhance their skills, and gain successful results; has developed a Portfolio, Program and Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3) which is an exaggerated version of learning.
P3M3 is based on different existing portfolio, program and project management practices. According to a survey conducted by SEI such a comprehensive reference model will aid in organizations to develop many process improvement programs. With P3M3 you can understand crucial practices that comprise an impressive portfolio, program and project management process. With P3M3 quite a few organizations have benefited by improving upon their program and project managing strategies. P3M3 is best to have a profitable and successful result by minimizing the chances of risks involved in the project.
Some useful and worthwhile tips on project management and the methodology can also be garnered by going through various books and journals. Sandeep Mehta's white paper on 'Effective Project Management' has earned remarkable recognition in this area. The paper throws light on the significant role that project managers play and should undertake, ways to optimize resources, other smart techniques and methodologies.
Apart from the extensive course learning and curriculum some simple tips on efficient project management are: perfect dressing sense, while handling a project you should follow a formal dress code; complete presence of mind, remember to maintain space while talking to someone, how to greet and say good bye, your facial expressions, eye to eye contact that helps in sending and understanding messages, posture in which you are standing or sitting and so forth.
