Description

Are you struggling to keep projects on track and on budget, and aligned with business priorities? Without strong governance, active risk management, and timely informed decision-making, even well-planned projects can quickly lose momentum.

This two-day Project Management course is designed for professionals, product owners, managers and directors who are accountable for delivering complex projects in fast moving environments. Grounded in actual Government of Canada auditor findings, the course uses case studies to explore common project risks and strategies to effectively address them.

You’ll work through scenario-based tasks, engage in lively discussions, and problem solve with peers as you examine the real-world challenges that influence project success. The course also highlights practical tools, decision frameworks, and governance approaches that you can apply immediately in your day-to-day work.

By the end of the course, you’ll understand what drives effective oversight, identify where projects most often go off track, and effect clearer, more confident decisions that support business priorities and deliver stronger outcomes.

Join your peers for two days of practical, relevant learning and leave with tools and techniques that you can apply immediately in your project work.
