Demystifying Project Management in Information Technology
Learn in a classroom environment with your peers, virtually, with a BEVA® instructor online.
Course Length: 2 days
Audience: Managers/Supervisors/Team Leaders / Team members /IT Architects, engineers and Technicians
Learning objectives
Based on an assigned case study or an technology existing project, the learner, whether in management, administration or operations, will create a project Charter, a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), A RACI (Responsible-Accountable-Consulted-Informed) and a communication plan to enable a project team to achieve the assigned objectives.
The expected results
The activities carried out will be used as an evaluation model to measure students’ achievement of these results. The learner will be part of a group (project team) for which he will participate in workshops to complement various project documents (objectives).
For example, the group will have a template and will create a project Charter, the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), the RACI (Responsible-Accountable-Consulted-Informed) and the communication plan based on the assigned case study or a real project on which one of the learners works. The instructor will do everything to make sure that he / she understands the work and answers questions..
The duration of the course is two days.
