The course aims to help leaders take their organization's projects to the next level by leveraging their management skills. Project leaders are responsible for all project stages, from planning, execution, monitoring, and control to completion. This activity requires a motivating and organized profile capable of effective management while keeping schedules, relationships, and responsibilities under control. In this context, it is necessary to adapt to modern project management theories applied in various sectors. The course presents an integrated structure that enables success in planning and developing projects and organizations by establishing realistic expectations and commitments.
Throughout the project lifecycle, leaders need to process large amounts of information and manage it through data collection and organization. From defining requirements and forming the team to monitoring project progress and producing reports with financial and performance data, project managers can feel overwhelmed. Therefore, it is important to develop tools to structure these tasks.
In this new course, backed by the academic reputation of MIT, one of the world's leading research institutions, participants will be able to develop and manage complex technology projects. Participants will acquire the fundamental project management skills to become more effective leaders.
In this course, participants will learn:
- Strategy and project development: selecting projects for positive impact, defining the strategy, and managing the project configuration phase.
- Project planning: developing a practical and executable plan, carefully analyzing and dividing the project into parts.
- Project execution: ensuring the project is executed according to the planned strategy, forming the right team, and adhering to established schedules and budgets.
- Risk management: dealing with unexpected opportunities and risks, adapting the project, preparing contingency plans, and creating mitigation strategies with time and resource margins.
- Project closure: leveraging final evaluation and organizational learning to adjust and reuse project management strategies in future planning.
The course is suitable for team leaders from different sectors seeking to enhance their project management skills, managers looking to acquire practical and viable project management tools and build successful teams, and executives aiming to utilize cutting-edge project management in a constantly evolving business and technology environment. There are no prerequisites for this program, although previous experience in project management is recommended.
