Why do ICT projects fail, and what  basic steps you can take to ensure success?

Martin Aitken will explore two key topics in this project management overview:

• The key ways to project your projects against failure
• A comparison of the key project management methodologies

A clear understanding of project management methodologies and relevant certifications are becoming increasingly important for everyone involved in IT projects today. Martin will explain to us the difference between the Project Management Professional (PMP) and PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments) certifications. Is one better than the other?

Martin will look at the organisations behind these two certifications and will also clarify the benefits of methodologies such as SCRUM and Agile.

Includes Light Lunch
