Time Management for Managing Projects and Complex Tasks - 3hours

The new PD Training Signature series course, Time Management for Managing Projects and Complex Tasks, incorporates best practices from a range of professional frameworks like Agile SCRUM, to create a real-world time management training course for the real-world project manager. 

Managing complex tasks, like projects, requires a range of time management skills.  Most important is the estimation process for costs and timings.  Most project estimations are difficult to forecast, hence why a large number of projects end up being delivered over-time and over-budget.

Learn essential skills like how to conduct multiple estimation techniques, delegation of tasks, meeting management, managing a crisis situation and much more!  You will learn about your own personality type as well as other personality types and how to engage others in an entirely new way that provides a path to better communication and improved time management skills.

PD Training can provide a complete professional development program for your organisation which includes personality profiling and automated training needs analysis, so contact us today to learn more!

"In my work and personal life I have been struggling with time management for years, Derrick the facilitator provided some great tools and delivered the content in a method that was relevant and effective to meet my learning style. I have also been working through some barriers in my work environment that Derrick was able to discuss with me after the session which was extremely supportive and important for me at the time. I'd be more than happy to recommend course and Derrick for his amazing service and attention to his learners. Derrick would be happy to know I've already undertaken 3 of the several changes today which has already provided an impact!"

“ Our trainer was excellent. She tailored the day to our particular needs, and she was very flexible - allowing us extra time to discuss issues of most relevance to us. She was engaging and very adept at making people feel very comfortable talking about themselves and issues in a way that work colleagues might find difficult ordinarily. I cannot recommend her highly enough as a trainer.
Presentation of the training was to a very high standard!!! Very impressed.! ”
