This is the third presentation in a series of six 75 minute instructor-led modules to give Localisation professionals an overview of a simple effective process for managing projects successfully. The series is designed for people whose job it is to manage localisation projects so that schedule, quality and cost goals are achieved. The focus is on simple messages and techniques so that participants can improve their project management performance as soon as they return to the workplace.

What is it about?
The content of the third module is outlined below. The instructor will present each module in 45 – 60 minutes, illustrating the points with examples from his experience.

Module 3. Planning
This module deals with the methods to use so that a complete project schedule can be agreed and documented. As with Module 1, we will discuss how to do this in an efficient way, and the importance of ensuring that all participants in the project, including stakeholders, are aware of the plan, and agree with it. The key topics covered are:

• Scheduling techniques
• Examples of project plans and schedule documents
• Contingency – how can you build it into your plans?
• Risk analysis - The theory/The reality
• Budgeting
• Lessons Learned*

*A feature of the workshop is the “Lesson Learned” section which summarises the key points and learnings at the end of each module.

What will I get out of it?
Participants will get an outline of a simple effective framework to help them manage projects more successfully.

What’s included?
Participants will have free unlimited access to the session video recording.
