About the course
Overview
This practical course identifies a number of common pitfalls and failures in delivering web projects and introduces strategies for avoiding them. You'll also learn strategies to mitigate their effects if they are already plaguing your project.
This course works as a stand-alone, or alongside our Web Project Management - Fundamentals and Web Project Management - Planning training courses. Save up to 20% when booking a combination of our three project management courses, and gain a complete grounding in web project management.
Programme
Delivering a web project on time and to budget with all the features the users asked for is a tall order. So many things can go wrong: the content might be late, the developers might have underestimated, the delivered site might not work in the way you expected. This course will introduce you to strategies which will ensure that this doesn't happen!
Who should attend?
- Job role: Project Managers and Project Leaders
- Sector: B2B/B2C/Supply/Agency/Client
- Experience: Those planning to embark on a project, who want to ensure that it runs according to plan and delivers what users need
How will I benefit?
Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:
- Identify typical web project failures in the early stages or before they arise, and how to deal with them
- Reduce dependencies between tasks in order to minimise the risk (and costs) of projects going off the rails
- Develop a robust issue tracking system, allowing you to keep a handle on the development and deployment of a site
- Understand where stress points arise, and where to deploy resources to maximum effect
- Conduct testing early and often to ensure quality
- Motivate teams to cooperate and deliver more, and on time
- Re-prioritise a project's requirements and re-plan to get a project back on track when necessary
