Estimation, Planning & Controling in Projects – Practical Workshop
Overview
This is a focused, hands-on online workshop for professionals who want to improve how projects are estimated, planned, and controlled in real life — under time pressure, uncertainty, and changing scope. We’ll work with practical methods you can apply immediately and discuss typical failure points that cause projects to slip.
You will work on:
- Estimation in the real world: what to use, what to avoid
- Planning with constraints (time, capacity, dependencies)
- Monitoring & controlling: early signals, corrective actions, simple tracking
- Practical examples and Q&A throughout
Format: Live online (interactive).
Level: Best for people with basic project experience (PMs, team leads, project team members).
Zoom link: Sent after registration.
This session is intentionally compact and focused — it goes deep into the essentials, not across every PM topic.
