<p><u>All</u> organisations today operate in an environment of constant and rapid change. Managing this change effectively is often achieved through a portfolio of formal projects.</p><p><u>Many</u> organisations today have qualified and experienced project management staff to run their projects.</p><p><u>Some</u> organisations today have dedicated functions, staff or processes to support their project management teams. The very largest organisations have in-house Enterprise Programme Offices, or project management specialists in corporate audit or risk functions; or organise 'Red Team Reviews' of a project by other staff with project management experience who are not participating in the reviewed project.</p><p>But for many mid-size businesses and SMEs - and even some larger organisations - these resources are simply not available. For them, having access to external expertise to assure project management disciplines and to coach project managers can be a major contributor to project success. Such reviews can take place at project initiation; at major stage-gates (especially if significant capital is to be committed at the stage-gate); or at any other time if concerns arise concerning project quality, cost or timescales.</p><p>And it is for those organisations that we offer the necessary expertise, on an ad hoc basis, in reviewing projects and coaching senior project management staff.</p>A document review and workshop led by one of our consultants can help you assess whether:<ul><li>The strategic goals and priorities for the project are clear and being addressed</li><li>Governance of the project within the business is defined and being effectively executed</li><li>Project roles and responsibilities are clear and effective</li><li>The credibility and robustness of the project plan can be enhanced</li><li>Performance measures and reporting procedures are effective</li><li>Critical risks are identified and being managed and contingencies are agreed</li><li>The roles, responsibilities and capabilities of the key players in the project team are fit for purpose</li><li>Budgets are realistic and costs being managed effectively</li><li>Communication and change management activities are effectively planned and being executed</li></ul><p>At your discretion, you can capture the outcomes from the workshop for yourselves, in terms of identifying opportunities for improvement, or you can have our consultant write a report and make recommendations to you.</p>

<h2><strong>About this Training Course</strong></h2>
<p>Time is money in all industries. For the Oil &amp; Gas industry, this is no exception and the ability to maximise return on investment is all related to where the Oil is and how easily and quickly we can get that product to the customer. Whether in a technical, managerial or supporting role, you are a valuable asset in ensuring that project delivery targets are met and profits are realised. As Petroleum Engineering (PE) activities continue to increase, professionals like you must grasp the language and technology of PE operations in order to maximise expenditures throughout the producing life of a well.</p>
<p>Petroleum Engineering equipment and procedures have a unique language that must be conquered for maximum benefit. Clear and understandable explanations of rig equipment, completion equipment, operations procedures, and their complex interactions provide an excellent foundation for smooth communication and increased efficiency in inter-department project team efforts. A confident understanding of the technical jargon and a visual appreciation of the various pieces of equipment used provides for an overall 'big picture' of the industry value chain. This serves as an excellent foundation for smooth communication and increased efficiency in inter-department project team efforts.</p>
<p>This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format.</p>

Petroleum Engineering for Non-Petroleum Engineering Technical Professionals

<h2>Agile PM vs. Waterfall PM (Virtual)</h2> <p>The concept of Agile project management refers to the use of a number of tools and techniques that are based on enabling project teams to deliver products to a predetermined and agreed timeline. The concept of Waterfall project management refers to the use of a number of tools and techniques that are based on enabling project teams to deliver products to a pre-determined and agreed specification. The selection of the most appropriate project management method has, historically, been a choice of 'either/or' when it comes to these two approaches. It is now becoming clear that for many projects, the selection of a single project management method does not satisfy the professionalism of the project team nor does it optimize the return on investment for the sponsoring organization. A radically different approach is needed.</p> <p>This course presents an approach to project management which capitalizes on the most appropriate elements of each method tailored to the specific project being undertaken. In this course, the Waterfall approach will be based on the PRINCE2 model. Each method will be presented to highlight its particular strategy and strengths. The course will then propose project scenarios which will require the project team to use a hybrid method which brings together aspects of both methods. The overall goal of the course is threefold:</p> <p>Â· To introduce the Waterfall approach to product development.</p> <p>Â· To introduce the Agile approach to product development.</p> <p>Â· To explore how a combination of both approaches can bring added value to the sponsoring organization and their customers.</p>

<h2>Recovering Troubled Projects: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>Despite our best intentions, many of the projects that organizations undertake either don't achieve their intended business results or end in complete failure. Most seasoned project managers have had their share of experiences with difficult or troubled projects and unless they are careful, they will encounter more.</p>
 <p>This workshop does not focus on 'failed' projects but rather on those projects which without appropriate intervention would be headed for failure. Failed projects are those beyond help and which should be terminated. Here we focus on projects that are salvageable. It is an exercise-driven, no-nonsense, professional practice-focused workshop positioning the participant to immediately apply the tools and lessons learned in the classroom.</p>
 <p>The workshop employs the use of both illustrative and practical/working case studies. Illustrative case studies will examine insights from real-world troubled projects. Participants will be asked to bring descriptions of their own examples of troubled projects on which they're currently working or on which they have worked in the past. A number of these will be used as the basis for the practical/working case studies.</p>
 <p>The approach builds on and complements the disciplines addressed in Project Management Institute's PMBOK® Guide<em> </em>and also addresses issues that arise when managing projects in a complex environment.</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>
 <p>You will learn to:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Recognize the value of a structured project recovery process</li>

Recovering Troubled Projects: Virtual In-House Training

<p>Learning Agile or Scrum without the necessary work context is ineffective; more importantly, learning Agile or Scrum without a platform to practice and apply them on an ongoing basis is futile.<br /> <br /> IIL's Mastering Hybrid Approaches for Projects workshop provides both context and practice across all aspects of the value delivery system including waterfall, hybrid, and Agile approaches. This workshop provides options that span the value delivery spectrum for developing scope, estimating durations, managing schedules, and tracking progress. For example, participants will learn how to organize scope with a WBS and prioritize it with a backlog as well as lead the day-to-day work with a task board. The workshop also covers how to integrate iterations and releases into a high-level predictive schedule.<br /> <br /> The project team is the heart of the project. This workshop explains various team roles along with key leadership skills such as emotional intelligence and decision making. Key tenets of Agile practices, such as servant leadership and self-managing teams are explored along with the different types of meetings, such as daily stand-ups, iteration planning, and demonstrations.<br /> <br /> Those who attend will be better prepared to situationally apply agile and hybrid concepts. In addition, this course provides the structure for critical thinking to occur: to know and understand when to apply a predictive approach, when to apply an adaptive approach and when and how to combine them in a tailored and customized hybrid approach that meets the needs and demands of the project and the organization.<br /> <br /> The learning experience design is rooted in real world perspectives, leveraging team exercises based on a comprehensive case study.  </p>
