Managing the toughest part of any project

“

- In every organization, it's resources that are the problem with their projects, especially when you've got lots of projects all going on at the same time. But I don't think anyone has got any decent answers on how to plan such a difficult problem, until now. I'm Chris Croft and I've been running project management training courses for 20 years now. And before that, I ran manufacturing projects myself. And during this time, I've slowly worked out how to plan projects in the best way, including this tricky area of sharing resources between projects. And this course contains all my answers, clearly and simply described. We will be looking at what program management is, how to prioritize your projects, how to use a Gantt of Gantts, to see the big picture easily, concepts like planning using bottleneck resources and starting with the projects that can't be moved, the cube of projects, resources and time, and how to plan it, how to get the people you want for your projects, using a bit of influencing and negotiating. And we'll even have a quick look at self-organizing teams. I think this course contains ideas and methods that are unique in the world, so I'm really proud of it. And I hope you love it as much as I do. So let's get started.
