Project Cost Estimating, Budgeting, and Value Engineering Skills - (PM 2033)

Introduction:</h2>
The decision to proceed with a project is often based almost exclusively on early conceptual cost estimates, and these estimates provide the basis for the cash flow projections and budget forecasts used during the project feasibility study.
Unreliable cost estimates can result in significant cost overruns later in the project life when it is too late to contain them. As potential projects are considered, management not only requires cost estimates of high accuracy but also seeks opportunities to reduce lifecycle costs, improve budget accuracy, and optimize whole-life project value.
Determining which estimation method to use at each stage of project development depends on the information available during preparation and its desired accuracy. Besides, decisions regarding optimizing project costs without sacrificing quality or functionality depend on using systematic and logical procedures and techniques to enhance the whole-life project value.
This project cost estimation course will provide the delegates with the necessary skills for accurately estimating the total cost of their proposed projects, eliminating unnecessary expenses, linking cost estimates to selected procurement methods, and enhancing the overall value of project delivery.
The project cost estimation course offers a series of estimating techniques and processes to forecast accurately the anticipated costs of projects with a focus on budget estimates, estimates for pre-construction services, estimating contractor and subcontractor work, estimating general conditions, pricing self-performed work, estimating negotiated contracts and performing lump-sum and unit-price estimates.
The project cost estimation course also presents the value engineering methodology, emphasizing the return-on-investment aspect of decision-making regarding lifecycle costs during project planning, procurement, and execution. This methodology can identify alternative ideas/solutions to produce the client's best value requirements at any project phase.
This project cost estimation course significantly enhances cost estimating, budgeting, creative thinking, problem-solving, and informed decision-making skills within the project management context.

Value Engineering Skills: Planning for Performance Excellence - (PM 4017)

Introduction</h2>
In its broadest sense, value is the benefit to the client a project offers. Value Engineering (VE) is a creative, organized approach that allows stakeholders to optimize project value, reduce lifecycle costs, address financial issues, and eliminate unnecessary costs. The VE methodology emphasizes the return-on-investment aspect of decision-making regarding lifecycle costs during project planning, procurement, and execution. It can be used to identify alternative ideas and solutions at any project phase to produce the client's best value requirements. VE is not about choosing the cheapest option. Rather, it concerns realizing the best value for money.
This value engineering in project management course is designed to impart expert guidance to participants for securing real benefits and cost savings through implementing VE in their projects, with a strong focus on developing project scope, charter, cost estimates, plans, and budget.
The value engineering in project management course aims to significantly enhance creative thinking, problem-solving, objective assessment, and informed decision-making skills within the project management context.
The value engineering in project management course adopts a systematic step-by-step methodology to support VE techniques' initiation, planning, and application. It covers key elements in the VE application, including forming and managing an integrated multi-disciplinary project team to generate solutions and recommend alternatives, capturing stakeholders' requirements and expectations, developing conceptual cost estimates and models, undertaking life cycle costing analysis, and producing a high-level project plan to guide project execution and control.
<h3>What is Value Engineering in Project Management?</h3>
Value engineering in project management is the systematic method of improving the value of goods, products, and services by examining function. Value, as defined, is the ratio of function to cost. Value can, therefore, be increased by either improving the function or reducing cost. It is a primary tenet of value engineering that basic functions be preserved and not reduced as a consequence of pursuing value improvements.
<h3>The Value Engineering Certification</h3>
Professionals aiming to become certified in value engineering can benefit from VE training courses, which include a rigorous study of value methodologies, the process of VA/VE, and the best practices in applying VE to projects. These certifications often culminate in an examination and are recognized by industry and professional bodies worldwide.
<h3>Implementing a Value Engineering Program and Plan</h3>
In-depth exploration of initiating and planning for a Value Engineering Program within an organization, detailing the process of aligning VE with corporate strategy and integrating the approach comprehensively into projects.

Project Risk Management & Compliance Training Course - (PM 4044)

Introduction</h2>
This project risk management and compliance seminar will emphasize awareness of project risk management to minimize project cost/schedule overruns and improve project execution.
Project management is all about managing risks, seizing opportunities, minimizing threats, and optimizing results. However, risk management is often treated as a reactive process, or worse, not done at all.
In this project risk management and compliance certification course, you’ll work through the proactive approach to both sides of risk: threats and opportunities. The approach is based on a clear understanding of both qualitative and quantitative approaches to risk management.
<h2>Understanding Compliance Risks within Project Risk Management</h2>
Compliance risks are a category that demands keen attention in project risk management. Compliance project management is a critical aspect that aligns project objectives with regulatory and legal requirements, ensuring that projects adhere to necessary standards and avoid legal repercussions.
Understanding the compliance risks and integrating compliance from the early stages of project planning to the monitoring and control phases mitigates the potential for non-compliance and associated costs. By incorporating compliance risk analysis and management strategies, project professionals can guarantee that their projects meet both the execution and regulatory standards, safeguarding their companies from legal penalties and reputational harm.
Participants in this project risk management and compliance certification course will explore the intersection of project risk management and compliance, learning project risk management techniques and tools designed to recognize, evaluate, and manage compliance risks effectively.
