You Will Learn How To
- Conduct total life cycle management for government projects using an Integrated Master Plan
- Oversee the preparation and documentation of an Integrated Master Schedule
- Direct and estimate total cost of ownership (TCO)
- Establish a risk, threats and opportunities management process
- Manage and evaluate decision analysis methods, systems engineering processes and a complex requirements development process
- Supervise a comprehensive test and evaluation strategy (TES) and critique operational test and evaluation (OT&E) programs
Course Benefits An Integrated Master Plan is key to successfully managing large-scale government projects. Through a complex case study in this course, you gain the skills to coordinate the development of, oversee, evaluate and critique a total life cycle system management Integrated Master Plan and Integrated Master Schedule. You also learn to oversee the application of systems engineering concepts and apply a comprehensive test and evaluation strategy.
Who Should Attend Senior/Expert program and project managers, directors, sponsors and others seeking Level III FAC-P/PM certification.
Workshop Course Through an immersive, simulated case study, you gain practical experience evaluating the development and implementation of a complex project management plan. Activities include:
- Reviewing and evaluating an IMP and an IMS
