Embassy Trains Local NGOs on Project Management
October 24, 2009
The U.S. Embassy’s Information Resource Center conducted a project management training workshop in Sana’a on October 18-21, where eight non-governmental organizations were presented with methods and techniques that project managers can use to effectively initiate, plan, control and report on their projects.
The course helps project managers in dealing effectively with the different expectations of business and technical partners, management and staff. It provides tools, tips and real-life examples to handle all aspects of the project life cycle, regardless of the size and nature of the project.
The training course emphasized a structured approach to project management to ensure a well-planned project whose scope is managed, risks are assessed and stakeholders delighted with the product produced. In addition to a practicum to apply the concepts taught in the course, participants studied the risk management process of anticipating, identifying, quantifying, and responding to risks throughout the project. This course is aligned with the processes described in the Project Management Institute’s PMBOK® Guide.
