What participants say about Writing a Project Plan
Writing a Project Plan course: average 8.4 from 2 reviews
“The 'Writing a Project Plan' course is ideally suited to those who have completed the 'Project Management' course or who are encountering project-based working for the first time. The interactive way of teaching, and in particular the follow-up (writing a project plan for an existing or fictitious project as a homework assignment, which the trainer then comments on), makes the course highly instructive and above all practically applicable.”
“The course has given me a very usable tool for drawing up a sound plan of action.”
"The course was very instructive. Theory and practice were combined extremely well. It was very pleasant to be taught in a small group, which gave me even more opportunity to achieve my learning objectives."
"The materials (the book, the videos and the downloads) are very good. They alone give you solid tools to get started with a book. Hans focused mainly on the most important matters and we worked through a number of assignments. Those really stuck. I now know what matters at the start of my project and I can use the templates that LearnIt provides. I can also call on Hans along the way. That is very pleasant and personal!"
"Pleasant, interactive course with an experienced teacher."
"Practical tools to get started with projects."
Frequently asked questions about Writing a Project Plan in-company
Where does the in-company course Writing a Project Plan take place?
Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.
Can the content be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.
How large can the group be?
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
What does Writing a Project Plan in-company cost?
You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quotation. For a group this works out cheaper than registering everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 625,- excl. VAT per participant.
Can the course be delivered in English?
Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.
How do I request a quote?
Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.
What do you learn in the Writing a Project Plan course?
You will learn how to draw up a solid project plan for projects of limited complexity. You will work through a complete chapter structure, from objective and project assignment to planning, costs, quality and risk analysis. You apply it directly to your own project and, after the course day, you receive digital feedback on your draft twice.
Who is this course for?
The course is intended for (prospective) project leaders and project managers in profit and non-profit organisations. Employees who regularly lead projects without formal project management training will also get a great deal out of it. You do not need any specific prior knowledge, but some experience with projects is useful.
Which elements belong in a project plan?
A good plan of action includes, among other things, the background, objectives and problem definition, project assignment, activities, project boundaries and preconditions, deliverables, quality requirements, project organisation, planning, costs and benefits, and a risk analysis. During the course you learn what belongs in each section and how to make it concrete.
Do I receive feedback on my own project plan?
Yes. After the course day you write your own draft project plan and submit it digitally. The trainer will provide you with extensive feedback by email. You then have time to develop your plan further and submit it once more for a second round of feedback.
How many participants are there in a group?
We work with small groups of no more than ten participants. This leaves plenty of room for personal attention and allows us to link the material closely to your own project and working situation.
Do I receive a certificate on completion?
Yes. On completing the course you receive a Learnit certificate of participation. It states that you have attended the Writing a Project Plan course.
What is the difference between a project plan and a plan of approach?
In practice the terms are often used interchangeably. A plan of action is usually a more concise document focusing on the approach to a specific project, whereas a project plan is sometimes broader and more extensive. In this course we focus on the plan of action as a practical working document for projects of limited complexity.
How long does it take to write a project plan?
That depends on the size and complexity of your project. For a relatively small project, a solid first version often takes you one to three working days. By using the structure and checklists from the course you work faster and miss fewer components.
