Project Performance Measurement and Management

Introduction

Effective project management is not just about meeting deadlines and staying within budget – It’s about delivering value and achieving strategic objectives. In this Project Performance Measurement and Management training course, we will explore the essential principles, tools, and techniques used to measure, analyse, and manage project performance to ensure success.

Project performance measurement provides the data-driven insights needed to track progress, identify risks, and make informed decisions. Without proper measurement, project teams may struggle to detect issues early, leading to missed targets and inefficiencies. This training course will cover key performance indicators (KPIs), earned value management (EVM), balanced scorecards, and other frameworks used to assess performance across scope, time, cost, quality, and stakeholder satisfaction. 

Beyond measurement, effective management of project performance requires proactive decision-making and continuous improvement. This training course will examine how to interpret performance data, implement corrective actions, and foster a culture of accountability and excellence. Case studies and real-world examples will provide practical applications, equipping delegates with the skills to enhance project outcomes in any industry.
