Project Management for Construction

Project Management for Construction

January 12-13, 2022 | Online :: Central Time

Managing construction projects in the real world can be very different from what you learn in the book; it gives us a good background from which to start, but it cannot come close to predicting what can and ultimately will happen in the real world.

In the real world, projects fail—a lot. Throughout this course, we will discuss how and why projects fail, as well as risks and how to quantify and manage them, and conclude with building an understanding of how to deal with stakeholders on a construction project. Whether you’re planning your first venture or you’re a veteran project manager who is looking for new ideas for your execution, the goal of this course is to leave attendees feeling confident in their ability to create, monitor, and complete a construction project successfully.

Learning Outcomes  

  • Review the project basics, including how to initiate, plan, execute, and close a project
  • Evaluate how to manage your project so it is on time and on-budget (i.e., avoiding failure to meet schedules, budget overruns, quality issues, etc.)
  • Identify project risks and determine their impact, ownership, and response
  • Discuss how to manage stakeholders, as well as conflict and communication management, team building, and situational leadership
