Modern and effective project management techniques require skills that allow the seamless integration of best practice tools with good leadership and team management within an organisation. Learn best-practice tools and people skills for effective project management during our three-day Project Management in Practice programme, designed by RSM Executive Education.
You will explore every component of the project management landscape, including planning, controlling, reporting, team building, leadership, communications, and motivation. This includes finding effective solutions for your own real challenges by interacting with leading experts and your peers. And you will learn how to use effective management techniques to transform complex ideas into a structured and successful plan, and how to manage multi-disciplinary teams through good leadership, motivation and team building to accomplish large projects.
You will assess your performance using an online assessment – the Inventory of Project Management Kit™ – to compare your results to an international benchmark. You can put the concepts you learn during Project Management in Practice into action at work immediately.
Upon successful completion of this programme you will receive a certificate from RSM recognised by the Project Management Institute, and 24 training hours. These can be applied to obtaining the title of Project Management Professional (PMP®). To apply for certification you need an additional 12 training hours (i.e. by online training) and proof of practical experience. Read the Project Management Institute webpages for more information.
You will benefit from the Project Management in Practice programme if you are:
a senior manager who oversees the work of project managers
a project manager or team leader
participating in projects or providing support to project teams
“It’s an intensive and very interactive three days, but well designed with a clear structure. I liked the open discussions a lot, It was interesting – and eye-opening – to learn with participants from different countries. They were all very open when we discussed the diversity of culture in project management. The teacher was very good – clear and constructive, open, patient, and funny. I appreciated him sharing lots of practical examples from his experiences, as well as teaching us theories and tools.”
Le Chen, Program Coordinator Food Security for PUM Netherlands Senior Experts
Through the course and subsequent coaching I got a broader view on project management, how to deal with changes in culture and how to use various methodologies such as agile integration. This will help me to become more successful as a project manager, as I work with different company and country cultures. I’ve improved my skills in scoping, scaling and planning projects by applying methodologies. And I have a better understanding of how I should deal with the environments I work in.

I have been enjoying the Project Management in Practice virtual classroom very much so far. I was curious to see how the programme would be translated into an online setting instead of a traditional classroom but I must admit that the sessions so far have exceeded my initial expectations. I find Tony's guidance and interaction with my fellow classmates very insightful. Keep up the good work!

Useful programme describing project planning, components and behaviours. The interactive workshops embedded into the programme make it more effective by showing how principles of project management can be put into action. RSM provides a good speaker with pictorial diagrams and real life situations, which make the programme more interesting.

This programme is very much about practice and experiences. RSM draws quality people to this quality programme, so learning from peers across industries and cultures – in addition to content – adds great value.
