A Masterclass in Project Management | Business Training

Many of us will have been involved in organising or managing an event, even if it only involved arranging the guest list and tables, you have still played a fundamental role. Managing projects doesn't necessarily have to be managing an event, it could be a project in work like managing a new development of houses or maybe its for a project among your community, whatever project you are managing its important you know how to and you do it right.

There are lots of factors to consider in project management, three specific points to be exact which is the project life cycle, initiation, planning and implementation. Now if somebody had said to me I need to focus on those three key points I really wouldn't know where to begin. This is why I took a course to help me, I knew I would need project management at some point again so it would make sense to get an understanding, experience and some knowledge on how it works and how to effectively manage a project whether it's big or small.

My project was to organise a fundraiser for the charity Claire House, each team member had specific role given to them which was determined through doing a Belbin's Team Profile. So the role that was given to me was Project Manager which I was quite overwhelmed with considering that is the most important job of all.

The project actually went really well considering not one of us had any experience before, but after the event we all came to together to analyse how well it went and what could have been done to improve it. In the conclusion we all agreed that sufficient training would be the best solution next time instead of going in "blind".
