Course Description 

Government every year initiates a number of high risk, highly visible projects. In order to make these projects happen, officers at different levels of operation in the public sector are called to manage them to completion. A public officer, if not adequately skilled, will face a number of hurdles to manage the project appropriately. The management of these projects becomes still more difficult if they have a high level of complexity. This course aims to provide public officers, involved in management of government initiated projects, with the relevant skills, competence, approaches and processes such that the projects are completed without difficulty within time, cost and quality.

The course covers the following topics:

• Fundamental Concepts
• Project Initiation
• Project Planning
• Project Execution and Closeout
