Introduction:

Integrated Project Management meets the need for comprehensive and effective leadership in project management, encompassing the management of resources, consulting teams, and contractors while maintaining transparency and project control. In this interactive and specialized program, participants gain an understanding of fundamental and advanced issues, tools, and concepts in Integrated Project Management. Examples are drawn from both public and private projects at various levels and types, covering international projects and the unique challenges and opportunities in each case.

Key topics include the project lifecycle, its typical model, and key stages. The course covers various project delivery methods and how to determine the approach that suits your needs. It also addresses identifying and managing the roles and responsibilities of all entities involved in the project, effective project delivery for all project stages, including feasibility, project execution plan and strategy, consultant and contractor selection, bidding process, design phases' responsibilities before and after planning, executive drawings, overall project scheduling, budget design, contractor involvement in the design process, value engineering, responsibilities, environmental issues, and risk and uncertainty management.
