About the course

Introduction to principles/theory and group work
As a project manager and organization, mastering the craft of precise schedules and budgets is a cornerstone skill. Yet, it's a challenge that many IT projects grapple with, often resulting in frustrating schedule delays and budgetary overruns. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Our objective in this course is to empower you to create plans that accurately reflect the reality of your projects. We achieve this through a dynamic blend of theory introduction and short group exercises, engaging dialogues, and hands-on application of knowledge within our exclusive 7N Lab. This immersive experience fosters a collective understanding of common challenges and explores innovative approaches for overcoming them.

We cover both traditional planning and estimation methods (waterfall) and agile methodologies, introducing you to a comprehensive toolkit tailored to your unique project management needs.
