Project Management Skills

Program Overview

Practical tools make the difference between a project that is managed and one that simply happens. This hands-on course develops core working skills using the tools project teams rely on every day: scheduling software for Gantt charts and dependencies, Kanban boards for task flow, RACI charts, risk and issue logs, budget trackers and simple dashboards. Participants practise each skill on a running case, learning to set up a plan, update it with real progress, spot slippage early and communicate status clearly to managers in Gulf government and corporate environments.
