For an IT manager, this is an everyday situation:
One of his project managers reports problems in the project and the question arises: How far has the crisis progressed? Does he have to react or is the project in a position to achieve the turnaround on its own? What needs to be done based on the expected value contribution? In this seminar you will learn about a risk management system for projects and programs that gives you suitable warnings with regard to deviations from the project assignment.

Module 2: IT projects

The IT projects module provides the key figures you need to plan and manage your project in order to achieve the desired value contribution.

Be it for project management, in preparation for project committees (e.g. status meeting, steering committee), annual planning or individual interim reports. The aim of the two seminars in this module is to provide you with tools to identify weaknesses and show you how to eliminate them. The seminars are based on the principles of PMI and Prince2.
