OVERVIEW

A significant number of projects fail to achieve their initial goals and/or are not completed within budget and their original timetable. As a team member, a CMA has a unique skill set and experiences to assist in project management.

DESIGNED FOR

Public, private, and non-profit organizations and their members – CFOs, CEOs, controllers and managers

BENEFITS

  • Understand the process of project management
  • Provide management and organizational techniques to establish the necessary environment for success and provide examples of alternative approaches to the process
  • Demonstrate the use of analytical tools to assist throughout the process. These tools/techniques can improve the outcome of each step from selecting a project through planning, implementing, controlling, and when necessary, modifying the project.
  • Identify traps that frequently occur, and steps to manage through them 
  • Find references for further research

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Establishing a system: identifying forces that support the status quo; setting milestones and goals; the role of the CMA
  • Necessary first steps: set a framework for the project’s activities; identify needed resources; obtain support; decide on a structure; establish a team for a specific project; identify necessary team skill sets
  • Project evaluation: analytical tools, strategic evaluation; sources of risk
  • Maintaining focus: monitoring and measuring results; keeping to the project’s scope
  • Avoiding frequent traps: sunk costs; financing pitfalls; project creep; tunnel vision; failure to integrate the team’s work internally and/or the final project with the remaining organization
