Project Management in language you'll understand, using the techniques used by project professionals
Deliver your projects on time, to scope and within budget.
Project Management is one of the most important roles in any business - whether those projects are to bring internal improvements, develop new products and services, or to deliver solutions which have been sold to customers. Yet it's a sad fact that many project managers performing this vital role have received little or no formal training. This is where Navanter steps in - our Introduction to Project Management brings the vital skills to manage all these types of project, and more.
In 2 days of practical, hands-on learning, we look at the key skill areas of time, cost, and scope, as well as those grey areas in between, to help any project manager to bring structure, consistency, and predictability to their projects.

We believe we're unique in the training industry with the breadth of our practical, hands-on experience we bring to businesses. Over 20 years' sales experience, 14 years' management experience and training experience since 2006 is very beneficial but not unique. Combining these with extensive Project Management experience, however, is.
Neil Shorney, principal training consultant and coach, has been working with projects since 2001, trained in line with the PMI's methodology, and been a certified Project Manager with the George Washington University School of Business since 2005, and he has trained Project Managers for the world's largest Project Management training company since 2012.
