<h2>Project Quality Management</h2>
 <p>In today's environment, quality is the responsibility of everyone. Project success is no longer just the fulfillment of a project on schedule, on budget, and within the scope. Today, projects aren't successful unless the customer's needs are met at the highest level of quality at the lowest cost to the organization. Project Managers must know customer needs, and manage to them throughout the project lifecycle, in order to gain acceptance. Project Quality Management provides an interactive, hands-on environment for participants to practice identification of critical quality requirements (quality planning), fulfillment of those requirements through well-designed processes (Quality Assurance), and statistical awareness of technical specifications of project deliverables (Quality Control).</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>
 <p>You'll learn how to:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Plan for higher quality project deliverables</li>
 <li>Measure key performance indicators on projects, processes, and products</li>
 <li>Turn data into useful project information</li>
 <li>Take action on analyzed data that will drive down non-value-added costs and drive up customer acceptance and satisfaction</li>
 <li>Reduce defects and waste in current project management processes</li>

Project Quality Management

<h2>Project Estimating and Scheduling: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>Establishing realistic estimates and goals for projects that support business objectives and meet client expectations is one of the most challenging aspects of project planning. Delivering those results within the agreed-upon time, cost, and quality constraints is also challenging.</p>
 <p>Attempting to meet impossible deadlines with limited budgets often leads to unplanned product shortfalls, causing long-term support and utilization problems. We have all anguished about this recurring problem, but without having the skills or knowledge to take action, we are unable to break the cycle!</p>
 <p>The goal of this course is for you to be able to support business objectives and meet client expectations by selecting the right planning approach for realistic and cost effective schedules, as well as project budgets. To achieve that, you will focus on gaining the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques.</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>
 <p>At the end of this program, you will be able to:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Use the work breakdown structure (WBS) as the basis for effective estimating of project resources</li>
 <li>Estimate effort and duration using a variety of techniques</li>
 <li>Develop preliminary schedules using the critical path method</li>
 <li>Apply a variety of optimization techniques to refine preliminary schedules</li>
 <li>Establish realistic schedule and cost baselines, with appropriate contingency reserves</li>
 <li>Explain how earned value management (EVM) contributes to control time and cost performance</li>

Project Estimating and Scheduling: In-House Training

<h2>Implementing Scrum for Teams: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>Scrum is an iterative, incremental framework for developing products. It allows the team to deliver a potentially shippable set of functionalities for each iteration, providing the agility needed to respond to rapidly changing requirements. These characteristics have led to Scrum becoming the most popular method in the world of Agile projects.</p>
 <p>This two-day course provides a practical approach to implementing the Scrum method on your projects. You will learn how to initiate a Scrum project, how to build a Product Backlog, containing user stories, and how to plan and estimate releases and iterations. You will learn how to conduct Scrum events, such as the Sprint Planning Meeting, and how to track progress during an iteration. You will apply what you learn in a series of hands-on, team-based activities and simulations that take you through the entire Scrum process.</p>
 <p>The overall goal of the course is to enable you to successfully apply the Scrum method on appropriate projects in your environment.</p><h3>What you will Learn</h3>
 <p>At the end of this program, you will be able to:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Teach-back Agile and Scrum foundation concepts</li>
 <li>Initiate a Scrum Project</li>
 <li>Conduct Team Sprint Planning and Sprint Review meetings</li>
 <li>Develop Release Plans (including effective user stories and priorities)</li>
 <li>Build a Sprint plan (including effective estimates)</li>
 <li>Executive a Sprint (including essential Scrum ceremonies)</li>

<h2>Project Communication Skills</h2>
<p>Communication is the single most critical project success factor. When effective, projects get executed on time, within budget, and with objectives being met. But that isn't all. Strong communication also nurtures healthy team relationships. And in today's highly diverse world, where projects are often fast-paced, complex, and virtual, that is more important than ever. Strong communication skills foster cultural awareness, trust, and empathy. Together, they contribute greatly to project success-and ultimately, to future project success.</p>
<p>In this course, participants will actively explore best communication practices from a variety of perspectives: in-person, virtual, electronic, and via formal project documentation. In order to be transformative, however, those perspectives will be filtered further through the lens of their formal, personalized assessment. It is a powerful tool which identifies individuals' internal needs and priorities. It translates those into descriptive profiles and reports, gifting users with valuable information about themselves and others. Paired with the course's real-world activities, it will provide uniquely strategic opportunities for communicating effectively and meaningfully-and with less conflict, both personally and professionally.</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>
<p>At the end of this program, you will be able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify basic elements of communication and explain how they affect teams</li>
<li>Explore how your assessment style impacts you and how you communicate with people of other styles</li>
<li>Infer how your style impacts the way(s) you send and interpret emails and instant messages</li>
<li>Analyze real world email and instant messaging practices to determine how they affect communication and relationships</li>
<li>Explore best practices for formal project communications and presentations</li>
<li>Analyze how your assessment style and global diversity can contribute to both strong team communication and conflict</li>
<li>Identify solutions for virtual team work communication challenges</li>
