Project Management Workshops

For organizations that prefer or require a more hands-on approach to training, PM tec offers a series of project management workshops facilitated by our most experienced project managers. The workshops are execution-versus-theory-oriented and specifically demonstrate how to apply project management tools, techniques, and methods to the real-world execution of projects.

All of PM tec's project management workshops can be conducted per customer request, at a customer specified location or in one of PM tec's training facilities. Please contact PM tec's Training Coordinator at 480-558-3028 for more information.

Fast Start for Projects^tm

 Workshop No. PM-301
Cost:Project Specific
Course/Skill Level:  Intermediate, Advanced

This is a workshop that enables a project team to complete the project definition and planning of a project in the shortest possible time.  The outcome of the Fast Start process is an integrated project scope, schedule and cost baseline, documented in the form of a project plan.  This workshop is facilitated by concept, an expert project management facilitator, assisted by a scheduler/project analyst, works with the project team over 2 days, at a single location, to produce the project baseline plan.

 Upon completion of the workshop, the project team will have developed the following elements of the project plan:

• Initial scope, schedule, and cost plan
• Project team responsibility matrix
• Project Risk Plan
• Project Plan developed to a sufficient degree to transition to the next phase of project funding and approval

Program Management Implementation, Structure & Integration

Workshop No. PMISI
Cost: $695 per participant
Course/Skill Level: Intermediate, Advanced

 This is a 1-day interactive session where participants work cooperatively to discuss options and build common project management goals and an implementation approach for “how” to implement Project Management within their organization.

Competencies gained include:

• A fundamental understanding of program/project management as a business process
• The needs of the organization and its current project management maturity level
• Identification of desired end-state of project management in the organization

Functional Manager Workshop

Workshop No. FMW2
Cost: $1,295 per participant
Course/Skill Level:  Intermediate, Advanced

 This 2-day workshop provides a critical understanding for middle management on how actions and behaviors create an environment that is necessary for any improvement plan to be successful.  Studies have indicated that the presence of such a supporting environment leads to a much higher probability that implementation within that organization will succeed. The workshop design is structured on the realization that customer-focused Project Management is a very different approach to the way that business is traditionally conducted. The workshop is execution-versus-theory-oriented and specifically demonstrates how middle management can be the champion or the roadblock to successful implementation. 

 Upon completion the participants will be able to understand portfolio management methodology, create and prioritize action plans to implement project management and document risk and issues.

Senior Management Workshop- Converting Strategy to Action

Workshop No. SMWCS
Cost: $1,595 per participant
Course/Skill Level:  Advanced

 This 2-day workshop provides a critical understanding for senior management on how actions and behaviors create an environment that is necessary for a customer-focused, project management culture to be successful.  Studies have indicated that the absence of such a supporting environment leads to a much higher probability that implementation within that organization will fail.  The workshop design is structured on the realization that customer-focused Project Management is a very different approach to the way that business is traditionally conducted.  The workshop is execution-versus-theory-oriented and specifically demonstrates how the methodology can be used by organizations to achieve their strategies, goals and objectives.
