"Managing projects to completion, with an alert eye on quality, cost, and time, is something most of us need to do on an ongoing basis. In this course, we break down project management into its fundamental components and work to galvanize your understanding of the key concepts with an emphasis on practical application and execution. Since project managers spend the vast majority of their time communicating with others, we focus on traits and techniques that enable effective communication. As people are the most critical asset in the project management process , effective and thorough communication is essential." - Jeff Frisk

Throughout the six day course, we will cover all aspects of project management from planning and initiating projects and managing cost, time, and quality while your project is active to completing, closing, and documenting as your project finishes. This course follows the basic project management structure from the Project Management Institute’s Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK™ Guide) and also offers specific insight and techniques to help you get the job done. A copy of the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK™ Guide) - Third Edition is provided to all participants. You can use your course material and the guidebook after you complete the class to help you prepare for your Project Management Professional (PMP™) Exam.
SANS MGT525: Project Management and Effective Communication Course is a six day intensive training session.

The project management process is broken down into core process groups that can be applied across multiple areas of any project. The course covers cost, time, quality, and risk management. Time management with projects is especially dangerous since many project activities have complex relationships with each other. Although cost management is omnipresent in any business, effectively managing the costs of a project is often a differentiating factor between projects that come to fruition and those that fail. The quality section covers quality assurance programs in depth and highlights the concept of continual process improvement. We go into a great amount of detail with human resource management as well as effective communication. People resources are the most valuable, and the communication and conflict resolution techniques presented can be used in all areas of professional work. Above all, projects fail or succeed because of the people involved. You want to make sure the people involved with the development and execution of your project build a strong team and communicate effectively.
