The British Academy for Training and Development offers a professional training course in Project Performance Measurement & Management. This interactive project performance measurement and management training course focus on the added value that can be achieved when applying effective control mechanisms and performance measurement tools using proven project management techniques. One of the fundamental success factors in project execution is knowing what determines real-world project performance and how to accurately measure them. There are various metrics that can be measured in any project, but very few can determine the performance of a project, depending on the nature and goals of the project. Projects are usually multi-tiered, with multiple phases, multiple scopes of work, and different interfaces. Therefore, comprehensive project planning and effective project management are required to measure and manage project performance. Without it, project performance cannot be accurately measured and project performance cannot be managed.
