Project Control, Risk and Governance
This five-day programme prepares project directors, PMO professionals, and control specialists to govern and control projects from approval to closure, covering project governance foundations and framework, control and earned value management, change control and project risk, contract, supplier and delivery governance, and reporting, assurance and maturity. Participants develop skills in project governance and steering design, project control and earned value management, change control and project risk management, and contract governance, project assurance, and reporting.
Introduction
Project Control, Risk and Governance Training Course prepares project directors, PMO professionals, and control specialists to govern and control projects from approval to closure. Participants work through project governance foundations and the governance framework, project control: scope, schedule, cost, and earned value management, project risk management with ISO 31000 and risk registers, change control, configuration, and contract governance, and reporting, assurance, and project governance maturity as one connected discipline. The programme links the accountability a sponsor holds with the control data and governance discipline that prove delivery. As a result, learners gain a practical command of project control, risk, and governance. Furthermore, the course strengthens governance judgement, control discipline, and reporting quality.
