Increasing Your Organization's Performance with Project Audits |
|
Overview |
|
|
Auditing and assessing risk for projects can provide organizations the opportunity to uncover the issues, concerns and challenges encountered during the execution of a project. This allows all involved parties an understanding of what has gone well and what needs to be improved. Project reviews provide an opportunity to learn what elements of a project have been successfully managed and which ones presented some challenges. This will assist organizations to identify what is needed to ensure mistakes are not repeated on future projects.

Session Focus |
|
|
Participants will learn how to conduct an in-depth audit; what elements of a project should be audited and how to develop and report on the audit findings to ensure the report findings get implemented. We will use case examples during this workshop including the implementation of a new IT system; a mining project; the design and production of a new automobile, public sector projects and many more situations. Participants will work through the major stages of a project audit and health check to help improve their own auditing processes. This course is more in-depth than "Delivering Project Assurance."
