One Day Project Management Workshop – Countdown

Effective project management skills are a key to business success

Effective project management is a key skill needed by growing businesses. Too often major projects going off the rails leading to major cost over-runs, delays and serious impacts on the ongoing business of our clients. Very often these problems are due to failure to follow the basic rules of good project management. Therefore the TXM are excited to introducing the internationally recognised Countdown program, which introduces the key elements of effective project management in a practical and fun way through use of a simulation.

Participants engage in an interactive project simulation

Countdown is a powerful, high-involvement project simulation in which teams assume roles at a fictional company with a critical need to improve their project management processes. Participants are quickly involved in a project which includes working with a Gannt Chart, estimating delays and costs, evaluating critical paths, assessing project risks and making decision trade-offs. The result is an engaging, fast-paced and relevant learning experience that really works.
