Course Summary

This training course emphasizes awareness of how to appraise a project for viability, feasibility and project risk.

When any organisation wants a solution to a business problem, purpose or opportunity, it needs to plan and develop a project that will provide an effective method of implementing the solution. At specific points along the project lifecycle, the organisation will need to appraise the potential project to make sure the project is in-line with strategy, will achieve its objective and success criteria and the chosen solution will solve the required problem. In addition, the organisation must understand all risks to the organisation, as well as to the project. In this context, project appraisal serves as the major process of analysing, approving or terminating the project.

Project management has a heavy focus on risk management, the ability to seize opportunities, minimize threats and to optimize results. Risk management is often treated as a reactive process, or worse, not done at all. In this course, a proactive approach to both sides of risk is explored: threats and opportunities. The approach is based on a clear understanding of both qualitative and quantitative approaches to risk management.

This GLOMACS training course will highlight:

  • Understanding the business vehicles for change: Projects, Programmes and Portfolios
  • Identifying the principles of the governance of project management
  • Evaluate vision, mission and strategy to guide strategic project selection
  • Examine the project mission
  • Understand financial appraisal techniques
  • Examine financial and economic decision making
  • Use a practical, six-step process to manage project risk
  • Examine threats and opportunities facing projects from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective
  • Learn how to use risk management strategies to create an effective risk monitoring plan
  • Understand project finance options
