Project Monitoring and Control

In today’s increasingly competitive and fast-paced environment, successful project execution is not optional — it’s essential. Yet, real-world data shows that many projects still fail to deliver on time, on budget, or according to expectations, often resulting in revenue loss, missed opportunities, and reputational risks.

This 3-day masterclass is designed to bridge the gap between theory and execution. You will learn how to set projects up for success from the planning phase, and more importantly, how to monitor and control them effectively throughout their lifecycle. When deviations from the plan inevitably arise, you’ll be equipped to detect them early and respond decisively — before the project gets off track.

By integrating monitoring and control with a solid understanding of project risk management, you’ll develop a proactive approach to handle threats and even uncover opportunities to outperform the baseline plan. The course combines best practices from PMBOK®, real-world methods, and agile tools with hands-on simulations, allowing you to immediately apply what you’ve learned.

Through practical examples, tools, and templates, you’ll gain a robust framework for real-life application. You’ll work on a simulated project case study, experience critical decision-making scenarios, and leave with actionable insights. There will also be opportunities to share your current challenges and benefit from group discussions and peer advice, helping you implement improvements as soon as you return to your projects.
This is more than a training — it’s a professional reset that empowers you to take full control of your projects’ performance, risk, and value delivery.
