Project Management 2

Better management of your projects

A good start determines the success of your projects. Project Management 2 is an advanced project management course on promoting commitment and quality during the process. The goal is to enable you to handle your project team during the project’s start-up phase – and everything that that entails.

Through this project management course you will practise and reflect on specific methods for team development and project planning, all with a focus on managing your team and collaboration within the team. The course is part of Mannaz Project Management training.

Practical learning method

During the course, you and your fellow participants will be divided into groups who will each plan and conduct their own start-up seminar. Together with your group, you will decide on the process and the tools you wish to use. These choices depend on the selected project assignment as well as the composition of your project team. This active project start-up can inspire you in future project start-ups, at the beginning of each stage, during a change of pace or if you need to bring your project back on track.

Play and creativity

The course focuses on team development, as this helps projects get off to a flying start. You will be working on challenges associated with fostering a sense of commitment and community related to problem-solving. We will focus on things like creative thinking and incorporating play as a supplement during the stage of establishment, as it helps promote the development of a team.
