Project Management Training
Every organization, whether big or small executes their strategic plan through one thing – projects. A company's ability to execute projects effectively not only ensures resources are being used in the most effective and efficient manner, but creates opportunities to build high-performing teams and meet the goals of the organization.
We believe Project Management is more
than just hard Skills.
At Martin Training, we believe Project Management is more than just the hard skills of project management processes. It’s also about a project leaders ability to manage cross-functional teams, collaborate across a matrix organization when you don’t have authority over any resources and accept accountability for individual and organizational goals. That’s why we offer a project management curriculum that develops the hard skills of managing projects, estimating, assessing risk, running effective meetings, etc. along with the soft skills (motivating individuals, leading change, accepting accountability) that are required to get things done. And getting things done is what gives you the edge to Drive Business Results!
Martin Training’s Project Management Training Process
is the best choice!
Martin Training’s project management process is part of our CORE curriculum offering and is PMBOK® aligned. Every project (big or small) requires one thing – a team. In today’s organization, where all project teams are cross-functional, project managers must have a Project Management process that gives them the tools and techniques that create executable plans, good estimates and build buy-in and ownership along the way.
The C.O.R.E Method
C.O.R.E. stands for Collaborative, Open-Architecture, Results-Driven and Easy to Use.
Collaboration:
Every organization creates or improves new products and services through teams. The foundation of any team is their ability to collaborate and work together. ALL curriculums offered by Martin Training teach tools and techniques that support leaders in creating this critical component of team success.
Open Architecture:
Not only is every organization different, but within the organization every function, department and team is working towards creating something unique within a specified time-frame. (Definition of a project) In order to use a standard methodology that makes it easier provide governance and management, every one of our processes and methods can be applied to any type of project or industry from construction, to finance; from research and development to distribution our goal is to build skills that not only get results, but are transferable anywhere in your organization.
Results Oriented:
Specialists do work (create deliverables). Managers accept accountability for ensuring the work gets done (provide resources, remove roadblocks, negotiate, etc). Our organizations are comprised of educated and skilled workers that have the ability to know what they need to do (technically) to create any deliverable. Leaders therefore, should monitor the results that we want and leave the work up to the specialists. This creates schedules that are manageable to monitor and execute.
Easy to Use:
Success comes from our ability to do. Martin Training processes and methods are easy to use so that everyone that attends training can begin using what they learn as soon as they return to work. The tools are practical and can easily be applied to any situation, project or team size. Our goal – help you and your teams take action right away and see results!
Our Approach for Developing Project
Management Skills
The MTA Project Management Method provides a practical, hands-on approach that will immediately improve project results. The MTA Method is designed to provide structure and consistency across all project and team types, industries, departments and disciplines. The MTA Method places responsibility for project planning, execution and results on the entire project team not just the project manager or team leader. Participation in the planning and monitoring processes creates ownership and accountability by all team members and, hence promoting “ownership” of the project across the team.
MTA’s approach to enterprise-wide project management skill development is to provide workshops that focus on everyone involved in the Project Management Process. From the management teams that need to create and manage the portfolio of projects within the company, to the sponsors who need to guide and lead the project managers to the project leaders and team members themselves that need to execute and create the deliverables required by the organization.
Our Project Management workshops are participative and experiential; the focus is on training groups in our methodology so that they become self-sufficient quickly. Our workshops focus on advancing and supporting project management skill development and standardization throughout the enterprise, providing the curriculum, education programs, and tools that enable productivity and standardization of a PMBOK® aligned PM method.
