Anglia) Project management has become an increasingly important approach to managing, both within and between organisations, and skilled project managers are in increasing demand across all sectors of the economy. This module will introduce you to the basic tools, techniques and skills required to create, plan, deliver and evaluate projects. In the module you will work, in teams, to use these skills to develop a project plan and manage a real project for a sponsor, including developing detailed objectives, a time- plan, a budget, a risk register and a communications plan to ensure that all stakeholders remain informed. You will execute your project using controls to ensure that you stay on track and you will develop an evaluation plan to provide robust evidence of outcomes. You will then organise and document a post- project review meeting with your sponsor.
