Our UK project management course allows you to learn by working on your own projects. However it does not take the traditional "task" approach to project management that many types of traditional course focus on. Our approach to project management is to ensure that everyone involved is focused on the "success criteria" that are local to their part of the project, as well as the overall success criteria are for the complete project.

In order to understand this approach, think of project management as analogous to designing, making and fitting together all the parts of a complex jigsaw, where every part and every fitting interface is different. If everyone involved in the project simply made their own individual parts, what are the chances that all the parts would fit together to make a complete picture? Indeed, this analogy shows that it is not just the picture that everyone would paint on their part of the jigsaw that is important. What is important is the interconnections between each part of the jigsaw on and its neighbouring pieces.

NONE OF THESE INTERFACES can be made in isolation. Every projection from one part of the jigsaw can only be made in conjunction with the corresponding indentation of the adjoining jigsaw piece. In other words, if each person was responsible for one piece of the jigsaw, for the jigsaw to fit together, they would have no option but to work with their associates on adjoining pieces of the jigsaw to create the interfaces that would allow all the jigsaw pieces to fit together.

This is the approach to project management where everybody who is involved is not just responsible for their tasks, processes, but where everyone involved in the project has to take responsibility for the interfaces and the total success of the project
