Usually much earlier — in planning gaps, missed safety protocols, or a subcontractor relationship no one managed properly. That breakdown isn't inevitable — it's a signal most project managers don't catch until it's already cost time or money. This course closes that gap. Thirteen critical areas, each built around a real challenge project managers face daily, each giving you a technique you can apply immediately on-site and in the office. At a Glance 13 critical modules. 2 days. 1 complete project management process covering everything from pre-planning and safety to cost control, claims, and innovation. No wasted sessions, no filler content just practical strategies you can take back to your projects immediately. Thirteen Sticking Points, Thirteen Fixes • Projects start without a solid plan, and profitability suffers for it — Module 1 covers the importance of pre-planning, developing comprehensive project plans, and the direct correlation between planning and profitability. • Job sites carry safety and compliance risks that go unmanaged — Module 2 covers safety plan development, OSHA regulations, and risk assessment and mitigation. • Low job site productivity quietly erodes project results — Module 3 covers the factors affecting productivity, techniques to improve it, and how to measure and track it. • Subcontractors and vendors are hard to evaluate, negotiate with, or hold accountable — Module 4 covers selection, contract negotiation, performance monitoring, and relationship management. • Schedules slip because critical paths aren't properly identified — Module 5 covers CPM scheduling basics, developing and maintaining schedules, and the tools to manage them. • Claims arise and catch project managers unprepared — Module 6 covers claim types, prevention, documentation, and dispute resolution. • Legal risks and contract clauses go misunderstood until it's too late — Module 7 covers key legal concepts, important contract clauses, and managing legal risk. • Costs run over budget without clear visibility — Module 8 covers budgeting, cost estimation, tracking, and cost reduction techniques. • Poor recordkeeping creates gaps that surface later — Module 9 covers the importance of accurate records, documentation types, and best practices. • Communication breakdowns derail otherwise solid projects — Module 10 covers strategies, tools, and technologies for effective communication. • Deadlines get missed due to poor time management — Module 11 covers prioritization, time tracking tools, and techniques for managing deadlines. • Problems get reacted to instead of solved systematically — Module 12 covers problem-solving techniques and structured decision-making frameworks. • Teams fall behind by not adopting new tools and methods — Module 13 covers the importance of innovation and how to build a culture that embraces it. Nothing Here Happens in Isolation Weak pre-planning leads to productivity losses. Poor recordkeeping weakens your position in a claims dispute. Handle these as separate issues, and you're firefighting one problem at a time. This course connects the fixes, so by the end of two days, you're not holding a list of tips — you have one integrated approach to managing a project from start to finish. The Method Behind the Fixes Rather than presenting abstract theory, the course uses an interactive, workshop-based structure: 1. Identify the problem — What typically goes wrong in this…
