Introduction
This course is unique in the market as it helps the participants to get ready for the PMP Exam; not to mention the business
application portion that ensure the pragmatic implementation of the project management methodology. It will correlate the
exam questions with a practical workshop to cover the daily business activities.
This course is intended for candidates undertaking the Project Management Institute (PMI) Project Management

management knowledge and professionalism of the successful candidate. In ever increasing numbers, organizations are
turning to project management to help them gain competitive advantage.
It will emphasize awareness of project risk management to minimize project cost/schedule overruns & improve project
execution.
Project management is all about the management of risks; the ability to seize opportunities, minimize threats and to
optimize results. However, risk management is too often treated as a reactive process, or worse, not done at all.
Highlights of the course are:
The course is developed and facilitated by a professional subject expert with extensive industrial experience and
academic background.
Course emphasis is on providing practical skills in rationalizing proper managerial actions, as in the case of typical
PMP examination multiple-choice questions.
Get to interact with other delegates and build a learning network for industrial experience and for the PMP
examination

in the decision-making process.

using a proven six-step risk management process.
Evaluate and respond to risk at the project as well as the task levels.
Anticipate possible causes of cost and schedule overruns, together with poor quality of work. By identifying the
warning signs to these as early as possible in the project timely corrective action can be taken to minimize or
mitigate the impact.
Discussions of case studies and exercises emphasizing the learning across the five process groups and the
professional responsibility domain.
