2 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course covers topics of project with special emphasis on cost and time. The course covers technical areas under project, mostly with construction industry applications. It starts with definitions and concepts of project terms as compared to operations and moves to organization structures, types of contracts and delivery methods, project planning and initiation. Following there will be an in-depth coverage of time and cost through the entire lifecycle of the project. This includes the preparation, implementation, monitoring, and control of cost estimates and schedules. The course then makes a brief coverage of other project topics such as scope, procurement, quality, communications, health, safety & the environment (HSE), and risk. The course also includes brief coverage of support topics such as effective communications, emotional intelligence, and other soft skills that are essential for the project team members. Many examples and case studies are also included. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: To enforce knowledge of project definitions and concepts. To learn about project knowledge areas and how they apply to different projects. To learn how to effectively manage cost during all phases of a project. To learn how to manage time during all phases of a project in order to finish the project on or ahead of schedule. To learn more in-depth topics in cost and time such as logic network analysis and CPM calculations, updating schedules, resource, accelerating projects, Earned Value, and other topics. To learn how to manage scope, contract, quality, risk, logistics, communications, and other important aspects of the project. Get some tips on different topics of soft skills that improve the efficiency of project. LEARNING OUTCOMES: After successful completion of this course, the participants should be able to: Know and apply project concepts and methods. Know how to manage the cost of a project during all its phases. Know how to manage the schedule of a project during all its phases. Get more in-depth knowledge of time concepts and techniques. Get an overview of the of other aspects of a project such as a scope, contract, quality, risk, and communications. Learn some tips and skills in several areas that support the project performance.

3 TRAINING METHODOLOGY: This course will be conducted in a traditional classroom setting: Utilizing PowerPoint slides (participants will get copies of the slides) along with occasional use of other programs such as Word, Excel, or internet browsers.
