Feedback is critical to any success of any project, this feedback can enable the project manager to identify problems early and make adjustments that can keep the project on time and on budget. Earned Value Management (EVM), has proven itself as the most effective performance management and feedback tool for managing projects. EVM is called "management with the lights on", because it can help clearly and objectively illuminate where a project is and where it is going- as compared to where is was supposed to be and where it was supposed to be going. EVM provides the organization and the project manager with the methodology needed to integrate the management of project scope, time, and cost.

Objectives:

• Understand the concept of earned value management.
• The importance of EVM in the project management field.
• What are the elements of the EVM.
• How to improve the project performance through EVM.
• How to enhance the organization resource utilization in more efficient way.
• How to apply the EVM on your project Develop the forecasting reports about your project.

Successful project management relies on through planning. This begins by defining the project objectives with sufficiently detailed information. The WBS provides the fundamental foundation for defining work as it relates to project objectives. The WBS also establishes the framework for managing the work to its completion.

Objectives:

• Understand what is WBS.
• To know and understand the characteristics of WBS.
• To know the importance of the WBS.
• Understand the creation roles of WBS.
• How to develop a quality WBS.
• Improve your project performance through well-developed WBS.

Projects are generally complex endeavors and plan is essential to guide the execution of the project. As progress is recorded on a project, the remaining work requires reassessment in the light of new information. Rarely does the execution of a project proceed as initially planed. In a typical project d defined and refine scheduling process is required to predict and address those factors and issues potentially affecting the project performance. The purpose is to provide a roadmap that represents how and when the project will deliver its product that was defined in the project scope.

Objectives:

• To understand what is scheduling.
• To know how to differentiate between project schedule, and schedule model.
• To know the importance of developing good schedule.
• Understand the benefits and advantages of well-developed schedule model.
• Provide the project manager and / or the team with tools to develop realistic schedule.
• Understand the effective project schedule methodology.

The PMBOK provides an overview of practices that apply most of the time, to most projects; Government Extension extends the precepts of the proficient project management founded in PMBOK to public entities. Application area extensions are very important when there are many characteristics that are common in this area and not generally accepted in other areas. The Government Extension provides guiding principles for ensuring the efficiency, effectiveness of project control to allow the accountability to public citizen, as required by the public low.

Objectives:

• Understand what is PMBOK extension.
• Define the application area.
• To know the three levels of the government and their effect on the project.
• To know what are the characteristics of the application area.
• Understand the unique characteristics of the Government projects.
• Understand the addition inputs, tools & techniques, and outputs in each knowledge area.
• How to apply this information in the real projects.

The project manager competency framework provides a framework for definition, assessment, and development project manager and the project team competence. The framework define the key dimensions of the project manager (and the team) competence, and identify those competences that have the most effect on the project performance and also on the performance of the project manager and the team.

Objectives:

• Understand the element and the structure of this framework.
• How to use this framework.
• The application of the project manager competency framework.

The PMBOK provides an overview of practices that apply most of the time, to most projects; Construction Extension extends the precepts of the proficient project management founded in PMBOK to this specific application area, (Construction). Application area extensions are very important when there are many characteristics that are common in this area and not generally accepted in other areas. The Construction Extension provides guiding principles for ensuring the efficiency, effectiveness of project control to allow better project performance and to address the unique characteristics of this application area, and also to enhance the resource utilization of the performed organization.

Objectives:

• Understand what is PMBOK extension.
• Define the application area.
• To know what are the characteristics of the application area.
• Understand the unique characteristics of the Construction projects.
• Understand the addition inputs, tools & techniques, and outputs in each knowledge area.
• How to apply this information in the real projects.
