Clifford L. Creel, Ph.D.
Dr. Creel has been managing people and projects for over 30 years and
has a reputation for delivering projects on time, on budget and on
specification.

Yes, software can be
delivered on time! A veteran of the software industry
shows you how to do it. Whether your software project involves a large IT
department, or just a small group of developers, the PMC method of project
management presented in this seminar can help you be more productive and keep
your project on schedule.
In this seminar, you will receive training
in practical methods for planning a project, for estimating the project cost
and delivery date, for monitoring the project status and for solving problems
that arise during development. These techniques apply to all languages
and all types of projects: server, client or web.
Of particular interest to many participants
is the section on "what to do if..." where you are presented with a number of
real world problems that you are likely to encounter. You are given
advice on how to deal with these difficulties, and group discussion is
encouraged so that participants can share their insights.
This two day seminar will teach you the PMC method of software project
management. This is a time tested and proven method of delivering
software projects on time, on spec and on budget. The seminar is
presented by Cliff Creel, Ph.D., who has over 30 years experience managing
projects and people.
PMC Method of Software Project Management
 |
Plan
-
Proper planning is crucial to a successful project.
You wouldn’t build a house without a complete detailed plan, but many
companies try to build software with little or the wrong plan.
The PMC method will show you what kinds of plans are needed and how to
create them.
Complete examples of real plans are presented in the seminar.
|
 |
Monitor
-
Unless you know the status of the project at any point in time,
you will be unable to respond to problems and changes in a timely manner.
The PMC method will show you how to properly monitor a software project.
|
 |
Control
-
To keep a project on schedule and on budget, you must act
quickly and decisively to all problems, changes and issues that arise.
The PMC method will show you how to do this.
Central to this aspect is decisive and timely problem management.
The PMC method looks at many of the common problems that arise in a
project and gives you ideas about to how to deal with them.
This information comes from years of experience in actually encountering
most of these problems and learning what works best. |
This seminar not only teaches the basics of good software project
management, but also provides a wealth of information on how to make your
project successful.
In this seminar,
 |
you learn how to plan a
project with just enough planning to be successful, but without over
planning. A solid plan is the foundation of any successful project. |
 |
you learn how to monitor
a project so that you can spot problems quickly and reliably. |
 |
you learn how to make
quick and decisive decisions to deal with the many problems that arise during a
project. |
 |
you learn how to
accurately estimate a project's cost and delivery time. You cannot
deliver on time and on budget if you do not have an accurate schedule and cost estimate. |
The techniques taught in this seminar would be
considered conventional by most project managers. However, you learn many
ways to make these conventional methods work better and more efficiently.
So, for many companies that already have a good project management system in
place, you should be able to apply what you learn here almost immediately -
fitting it into your current system.
You will receive down to earth,
practical techniques from an industry veteran who has been using these
techniques to deliver successful projects for many years.
