Strategy meets execution in the project initiation phase; stakeholder analysis, feasibility studies, and business case development clarify direction. Participants learn to prepare detailed proposals, assess viability, and create project charters that establish purpose, scope, alignment, and accountability for successful project delivery. 

Project Initiation

Project planning turns objectives into a structured roadmap for timely execution. Learn how to develop work breakdown structures, sequence activities logically, and build accountable project schedules using Gantt charts, network diagrams, and critical path methods for clear, precise project tracking and alignment with goals. 

Fundamentals of Project Planning

<ul><li>Understanding the Why and What of Project Planning</li><li>Work Breakdown Structure &nbsp;</li><li>Schedule Planning &nbsp;</li><li>Understanding Network Diagrams</li><li>Estimation Methods for Scheduling</li><li>Utilising Gantt Charts &nbsp;</li><li>Scheduling Projects using Forward Pass</li><li>Identifying Critical Activities using Backward Pass&nbsp;</li></ul>

Effective project planning anticipates uncertainties by identifying and assessing risks using qualitative and quantitative techniques such as PERT and cost-benefit analysis. Participants develop contingency and mitigation strategies to build resilience, ensuring smoother execution and stronger outcomes under uncertain conditions. 

Risk Analysis and Contingency Planning
