pm k.i.s.s.^®

Training

Objectives and benefits

This course is designed to teach participants a form of project management that is specifically tailored to managing small and medium sized projects over a period of 3 days.

The course will first teach participants the theoretical background to this approach, extensively draws on practical examples to aid participants’ understanding, and then gives participants the opportunity to practice the use of these PM methods with reference to their own specific projects.

During the course, participants will be taught all of the pm ki.s.s. methods, pm ki.s.s processes and how to use the pm k.i.s.s. project handbook (Excel IT Tool).

On completion of this 3-day course, participants will be able to independently plan their projects, control and complete them successfully, and will have created a comprehensive set of project plans and documentation for their own project.

Structure and contents

The 3-day pm k.i.s.s. course is divided into three blocks:

• pm k.i.s.s. methods
• pm k.i.s.s. processes
• pm k.i.s.s. tool

• During the first 1.5 days of the course, participants will be taught the pm k.i.s.s. methods, which will focus on the project charter, work breakdown structure and work package owners, project organisation and scheduling, resource and cost planning, and context and risks analysis. During this course block, participants will be given the opportunity to apply the taught methods to their own projects.

• Following the methods block, participants will be taught all of the pm k.i.s.s. processes on the second day of the course. This will involve simulating the project initiation process, project planning, project controlling and project closing process together with all participants.

• On the third day, participants will be taught how to use their personal licensed pm k.i.s.s. Tools. They will furthermore be given the opportunity to document the project plans they created during the methods block in their pm k.i.s.s. handbook. This means that you will be in possession of a complete set of documented PM plans at the end of the course.

Why not take your project along to the course …

If you are about to start a new project, you are welcome to plan this project during the first two days of the course and to enter it into your pm k.i.s.s. Tool on the third day. On completion of the course, you will then be able to take your professionally planned project plan and apply it in real life.
