Practical Project Management


The Practical Project Management (PPM) course helps project managers to apply project management best practices to their daily work.


We have selected the PMBOK® Guide (Project Management 
Body of Knowledge) - edited by the Project Management Institute (PMI®) - as the basis of reference for this course and added best practices from models like CMMI®, PRINCE2® and our own hands-on experience. 

In this way, PPM offers current and future project managersa truly unique set of practical information - readily available for use in real-life projects. Topics such as project baselining, risk management and earned value management are all clearly explained and put into practice by means of examples.


Participants completing this course will be able to:
  • Manage their own projects according to the principles described in the PMBOK Guide
  • Better recognise and thus avoid common pitfalls in managing projects
  • Use the practical tips and tricks of experienced project managers
Course topics: 
  • Project management framework & context: added value, basics, PMBOK framework
  • Project initiation: how to match expectations and create consensus among project stakeholders?
  • Project planning: how to make a detailed plan to guide the team?
  • Project execution: how to coordinate people and resources?
  • Project monitoring & control: how to identify deviations from plan and take timely corrective actions?
  • Project closing: how to bring a project to an orderly end?
To facilitate achievement of course objectives, we use the unique TeamProsource-developed Practical Project Management Roadmap as a practical guide for project initiation and planning. 

Participants will have the opportunity to apply immediately the learned concepts and techniques on the "More Cars" case study. This case study, based on a true story, will be used as the common thread throughout the course.

  • A binder with full-colour presentation material (ppt format)
