Project Management 1

On the course you will work on:

• Understanding the working method of the project

• Understanding the business case on projects
• Formulating objective(s)
• Organising and planning your work

What is a project?

A project is a one-time task that is limited in time, content (deliveries) and resources and that has its own project organisation. The number of these kinds of tasks is increasing.

The project’s working method puts great demands on the project manager and the project group – demands that you’ll find easier to meet with the tools offered by Project Management 1.

An IPMA-registered programme

Mannaz Project Management Programme is IPMA®-registered in Denmark. This means that Mannaz’s goals and content have been scored according to the Danish NCB “Project Management Competences” and that Mannaz’s indication of participants’ options for developing competences have been verified by Dansk Projektledelse (Danish Project Management) (www.danskprojektledelse.dk).

Who can take part?

Project managers or upcoming project managers who want to get an overview of a project, its content and method.

Perhaps you’re about to start a specific project or face cross-disciplinary problems related to change within the organisation and its products/services. Even though you’ve worked with projects for a few years, there’s still lots to learn from this course.

Project Management 1 is directed at industries, professional groups and organisations.

How is digital learning used in the course?

You’ll complete a pre-test before taking part in either the virtual or physical version of the course.

This test will tell you which of Mannaz’s digital e-learning modules you should complete as preparation.

You must also fill out a DiSC-profile online. (DiSC is a personal assessment too).

Once you’ve completed the selected e-learning modules, you’ll complete a post-test. This allows the instructors to target your needs and your level of competence as accurately as possible.

It’s expected that you’ll need to spend ½ -1 day to prepare for the course.

Virtual course

The content of the virtual and physical courses are the same, it’s just the format and practical implementation that differ.

The course consists of:

• a virtual kick-off session
• 3 virtual course days
• a final 2-hour session
• follow-up and exam questions, which takes place approximately 1 month after the course.

All sessions are held in Zoom or Teams.

At Mannaz, we have extensive experience with virtual learning, and the course is designed to ensure that you get the maximum benefit. We can guarantee that you’ll receive the same benefit as you would on a physical course.

The course is composed of short presentations, interactive group work in virtual breakout rooms, discussions in the ‘virtual plenum’, several short breaks, and a long lunch break. We then focus on the effect of your learning in the follow-up session.
