Managing the Deadline — a Project Management Masterclass  

While not strictly a requirements course, we thought that we should mention our project management course which looks at how you become a total manager by looking enabling you to:

  • Experience the important project management issues in a workshop environment
  • Relate them to current practice in their own workplace
  • Explore and evaluate techniques, templates and methods
  • Learn from the experience of master project managers in many fields
Tom DeMarco's book, The Deadline, is an inspiration in its approach to project management. We use the case study from The Deadline to illustrate the workshop sessions. Participants receive their own copy of The Deadline.     Full details    Download pdf brochure
