INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT CALCUTTA


INTRODUCTION:
The demand for conceptualization, development and implementation of projects and the use of project management
principles and concepts are ever increasing in our societies and organizations. Through project organization, one
could achieve more easily some of the goals, which would otherwise be difficult if organized in traditional ways.
Businesses use project management to accomplish unique outcomes with limited resources under critical time
constraints. The use of project management in the service sector to achieve organizations’ goals is even more
common in recent years. The programme aims at exposing the participants to the concepts of project management
emphasizing the life cycle of projects beginning with the conceptualization, definition, design, development,
implementation and control of projects.

OBJECTIVES:
This four-and-a-half-day programme aims to help participants develop skills to plan, execute, monitor and control
during various phases of a project and to apply different project management techniques for the optimal utilization
of resources.
