Course Description
Cost over-runs are the number one killer of most projects. With tighter budgets, program and project managers need a more aggressive focus on meeting financially on-target delivery of projects.
Our 2-day interactive instructor-led workshop on Project Cost Management will equip project managers with proven methods and skills to help them complete their projects on time and on budget. This will introduce students to the basic concepts of project cost management principles, policies, and responsibilities based on PMBOK 6th edition. It will also provide them with clear processes for managing costs: plan cost management, estimate costs, determine the budget, and control costs. Lecture and discussion are reinforced with a team and individual exercises.
