MINDMAPPING FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT
COURSE DESCRIPTION
A practical 2 days mind mapping training course delivered by an expert mind mapping trainer!
Think smarter, learn faster and communicate better with Mind Maps.
A Mind Map is a powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlock the potential of the brain. It harnesses the full range of cortical skills – words, images, numbers, logic, rhythm,
color and spatial awareness – in a single, uniquely powerful manner.
In so doing, it gives you the freedom to roam the infinite expanses of your brain. The Mind Map can be applied to every aspect of life where improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance human performance.
Originated in 1970 by Tony Buzan, Mind Maps are now used by hundreds of millions of people around the world – from the very young to the very old – whenever they wish to use their brains more effectively. Similar to a road map, a Mind Map will:
Give you an overview of a large subject/area.
Enable you to plan routes, make choices and let you know where you are going and where you have been
Gather and hold large amounts of data.
Encourage problem-solving by seeing new creative pathways.
Enable you to be extremely efficient.
Be enjoyable to look at, read, muse over and remember.
Attract and hold the eye/brain.
KEY OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE
Be able to read and produce mind maps
Know how to use mind maps to brainstorm, make decisions, solve problems, plan and prioritizes, take and make notes, write reports and other documents, communicate information and deliver presentations

EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT (EVM) FOR PROJECT PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Purpose and Background:
The management of technical projects is becoming a challenge to professional engineers in an increasingly competitive marketplace in which effective project planning and control approaches must be in compliance with clients’ contractual requirements. Successful project managers demand that their projects meet technical objectives and be completed on schedule and within budget. To ensure success, an effective project control system must be designed, developed and implemented to provide management with timely and accurate information on deviations of cost and time parameters from the target objectives established during the planning cycle of the project.
Earned Value Management (EVM) is a project planning and control approach which provides cost and schedule performance measurements. It compares actual accomplishment of scheduled work and associated cost against an integrated schedule and budget plan. Its benefits include visibility into the true progress of the project work against the budget, projections of anticipated project schedule and cost trends and the ability to take timely corrective actions for undesired variances. EVM is considered to be one of the most powerful and productive concepts utilized in managing today's complex projects in private, commercial or government environments.
Learning Objectives:
To provide a powerful and unique technique that integrates scope, cost and schedule parameters of a project to objectively measure project performance. The fundamentals of EVM will be presented in a down-to-earth, basic approach, along with hands-on exercises and examples that will allow participants to apply the concepts to a realistic project.
Benefits for Participants:
• Obtain basic knowledge in understanding and using an effective performance management system in managing technical projects effectively
• Manage projects using a proven, effective performance measurement technique
• Work with clients to define project objectives and develop a project plan and put it into action
• Make project decisions concerning scope, cost and schedule parameters faster, more effectively and more confidently
• Stay on top of schedules, budgets, workloads and human resources issues and delegate practically and fairly
• Learn to avoid the pitfalls of project management by quickly identifying potential project risks and mitigate them as early as possible
Who Should Attend?
This seminar is designed for those who want to learn the basic principles of EVM used for project performance measurement, a proven method to evaluate project work progress in order to identify early potential schedule slippage and areas of budget overruns. It provides practical coverage of an accurate and realistic reflection of the integrated scope, cost and schedule parameters of a project to assist both contractors and client management in the decision-making process.
Senior managers, project managers, program/portfolio managers, engineers and cost/schedule practitioners, contract administrators, team leaders, individual team members as well as any professional involved in a management and control related function interested in improving realistic project cost and schedule performance tracking and progress reporting will find this seminar very helpful for their work on projects.

EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT (EVM) FOR PROJECT PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Purpose and Background:
The management of technical projects is becoming a challenge to professional engineers in an increasingly competitive marketplace in which effective project planning and control approaches must be in compliance with clients’ contractual requirements. Successful project managers demand that their projects meet technical objectives and be completed on schedule and within budget. To ensure success, an effective project control system must be designed, developed and implemented to provide management with timely and accurate information on deviations of cost and time parameters from the target objectives established during the planning cycle of the project.
Earned Value Management (EVM) is a project planning and control approach which provides cost and schedule performance measurements. It compares actual accomplishment of scheduled work and associated cost against an integrated schedule and budget plan. Its benefits include visibility into the true progress of the project work against the budget, projections of anticipated project schedule and cost trends and the ability to take timely corrective actions for undesired variances. EVM is considered to be one of the most powerful and productive concepts utilized in managing today's complex projects in private, commercial or government environments.
Learning Objectives:
To provide a powerful and unique technique that integrates scope, cost and schedule parameters of a project to objectively measure project performance. The fundamentals of EVM will be presented in a down-to-earth, basic approach, along with hands-on exercises and examples that will allow participants to apply the concepts to a realistic project.
Benefits for Participants:
• Obtain basic knowledge in understanding and using an effective performance management system in managing technical projects effectively
• Manage projects using a proven, effective performance measurement technique
• Work with clients to define project objectives and develop a project plan and put it into action
• Make project decisions concerning scope, cost and schedule parameters faster, more effectively and more confidently
• Stay on top of schedules, budgets, workloads and human resources issues and delegate practically and fairly
• Learn to avoid the pitfalls of project management by quickly identifying potential project risks and mitigate them as early as possible
Who Should Attend?
This seminar is designed for those who want to learn the basic principles of EVM used for project performance measurement, a proven method to evaluate project work progress in order to identify early potential schedule slippage and areas of budget overruns. It provides practical coverage of an accurate and realistic reflection of the integrated scope, cost and schedule parameters of a project to assist both contractors and client management in the decision-making process.
Senior managers, project managers, program/portfolio managers, engineers and cost/schedule practitioners, contract administrators, team leaders, individual team members as well as any professional involved in a management and control related function interested in improving realistic project cost and schedule performance tracking and progress reporting will find this seminar very helpful for their work on projects.
