Who Should Attend

Any member of a multidisciplinary team (geologists, geophysicists, engineers, landmen, technologists, etc.), or anyone involved with managing multidisciplinary team projects including team leaders, project managers, and advisors.

Description

The success of many projects falls squarely on the shoulders of the team leader or project manager. Good project management is a must if your exploration, development, acquisition or divestiture projects are to be completed on time, within budget, and result in success. This course teaches the A to Z of managing, organizing, and implementing a successful project plan. Learn why certain projects succeed while others fail. What are your project drivers – time, budget, and/or performance? The answer to this question will impact the success of your project.
