What project management can do for you
Project management training – an investment in project success and insurance against project failure
Standards-based project management training
So important is project management training to the success of major projects that it shouldn’t be trusted to just anyone. Courses should be based on published standards and proven methodologies – using project management toolsets that have proven themselves in the real world time and time again. This is why Xpertise specialises in standards-based project management training – around recognised successful project management approaches, such as PRINCE2, Project Management Institute (PMI), Association for Project Management (APM), Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) and the Independent Schools Examinations Board (ISEB).
When IT projects fail, the business suffers
Research shows that only half of IT projects are unqualified successes. While most don’t ‘fail’ outright, many fail to deliver the expected benefits, or are either delivered late or over budget (total failures are estimated to be anywhere up to 15% of projects).
The key reason for this lack of success is not that the IT teams implementing projects are lacking technology skills, it’s that they are lacking structured project management skills. Many are delivering major projects without prior experience or without formal training.
Project management training, from Xpertise
Xpertise provides a comprehensive range of project management training courses, based on recognised standards and successful project management methodologies. We provide people with the essential project management skills needed to deliver vital projects on time and within budget.
Project management training is a sound investment
Of all the professional skills that an IT professional might need, project management is probably top of the list – since many IT professionals will be responsible for projects which, though technology-based, are fundamental to the success and profitability of the business. When projects go wrong, the cost of failure is high – when projects go right, that investment in project management training has just paid itself back, many times over.
