Objectives of the training
At the end of these four modules, participants will be able to plan a project in four fundamental knowledge areas (Content, Schedule, Cost and Risk) according to best practices, in a predictive approach.Targeted audience
Project Managers (Project Manager, Project Director, Program Manager, Project Coordinator), PCO (Project Control Officer), Support functions for project implementation (engineering, procurement, human resources, etc.).Prerequisite

Course architecture
You will first have activities to do as a team or individually, group feedback and discussions and, finally, you will apply your learning in your "personal" project.
The training is spread over several weeks so that you can rework the data and advance your thinking between sessions, in the reality of your workplace.
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to produce the stakeholder needs and expectations tracking matrix.
o Stakeholder Registry
o List of needs and expectations
o Needs and expectations tracking matrix
o Data collection technique
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to produce the project specifications.
o Identification and description of the end product
o List of major components (first level of the WBS)
o Specification (description, acceptance criteria, major components, exclusions, constraints, technical assumptions)
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to create the WBS for a project.
o WBS
o WBS dictionary
o Deliverable breakdown technique
MODULE 2 - Project Schedule Planning
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to break down the project into activities or milestones, depending on the type of project.
o Type of project (deterministic or probabilistic)
o Decomposition by activities (deterministic project)
o Breakdown by milestones (probabilistic project)
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to sequence their project.
o Logical sequencing according to the method
o ADM
o PDM
o PERT
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to estimate the effort required in a deterministic or probabilistic context.
o Effort
o Effort vs. duration
o Business BD and lessons learned
o Risk management
o RBS (Resource Breakdown Structure)
o Delivery methods (manual or automated)
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to estimate duration in a deterministic or probabilistic context.
o Organizational structure
o Duration per activity (deterministic)
o Duration between milestones (probabilistic)
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to list project risks for each knowledge area.
o Risk research
o Risk categories
o Search techniques
o Risk register (evolving)
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to perform the qualitative analysis of each identified risk.
o Probability analysis
o Impact analysis
o Probability and impact matrix
o Importance of human factors
o Risk prioritization
o Risk register (in progress)
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to perform the quantitative analysis of each project risk.
o Evaluation techniques
o Impact on content
o Impact on schedule
o Impact on budget (gross and net value)
o Contingency (budget and schedule)
o Risk register (evolving)
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to determine the appropriate response to each risk.
o Acceptance of the level of risk
o Risks with negative effects
o Risks with positive effects
o Succession plans
o Risk register (evolving)
o Risk carriers
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to estimate all project costs, including contingency.
o Effort required
o Project costs (material, equipment, labor)
o Types of estimates (4 types)
o Additional tools
At the end of this LU, participants will be able to explain the importance of cost breakdown to the project and to the organization.
o Cost and schedule relationship
o Cash flow
o Project costs (material, equipment, labor).
