Project Management for Engineers
Streamlining your engineering projects with winning project management techniques for effective control
Event Date: 5-6 Aug 2010
Location: Sea Cliff Hotel, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

In today’s engineering world, project managers need to constantly stay on top of their game to avoid project delays and failures. Although recent Standish Group research has shown a significant improvement over the past couple of years, a staggering 19% of projects will be cancelled even before they get completed. A mere 35% of projects are deemed successful while 46% of projects encounter serious difficulties and struggle through their journey to completion. Today’s projects have moved with times, and though some of the common historical causes of failure are still present, project managers are now faced with additional challenges.

Successful project management provides tremendous return on investment. When productivity and efficiency increase, companies see larger profits. A huge part of a company’s success is your success as a project manager. How can we prepare ourselves today to anticipate the demands of tomorrow’s successful projects? Project managers must lead their teams in planning, budgeting, co-ordination, monitoring and control while meeting a client’s objectives on terms of quality, cost and time.

Currently in Africa there is major infrastructure development and projects taking place in all shapes and forms.

    "All project managers face problems on Monday mornings – good project managers are working on next Monday’s problems- Project Management Proverb "
    Every project inevitably runs into delays caused by cost and risk management and resource planning issues. Good project management is thus no longer a privilege but a necessity. Through effective mastering of project management skills, engineers can move forward with greater confidence.
