PM Lite—Participating on a Project for Results


Organizations are increasingly dependent on the development and management of critical projects. How these projects are executed by project team members is critical. To increase productivity and effectiveness, today’s organization requires that people working on projects have a common knowledge of project management terms, activities and tools.

Participating on a Project Team for Results provides project team members with the essential skills required to work on and interact with others on a project successfully. The course focuses on providing students with an overview of project management concepts, activities and tools.

The course covers basic project management concepts, project structures, project activities and the role software project tools plays in project management. Students gain an understanding of their role and relationship to project manager/project team leader and other project team members, the importance of effective project team communication explored and their relationships to project success.

Professional Instruction — Our instructors provide both academically sound knowledge and practical insight into project management. Their refined instructional skills and technical knowledge assure that students will not only receive solid instructional material, but that they will be able to apply their knowledge to real-life situations. Our goal is to provide your students with project management training that also makes their classroom experience a pleasure.

Custom Student Workbooks — Unlike other suppliers who use generic, off-the-shelf student books or manuals, Livingston & Associates’ student materials are custom built to meet your specific needs

Our course materials emphasize the practical application of project management techniques and models. The student guide is designed to be a learning tool rather than a regurgitation of academic concepts.

Our mission is to help students actively learn and apply the material rather than conduct a ‘book learning’ course. Also, the student manuals make excellent reference documents after class.
