Technical Project Management

Overview:

Introduction:

Technical project management refers to the structured coordination of technology-driven projects using defined methodologies, engineering principles, and operational frameworks. It focuses on aligning technical specifications with project goals, resource allocation, and timeline control. This training program outlines procedures and tools used to manage technical deliverables, address engineering complexities, and support integrated team collaboration across technical environments.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Define the structure and phases of technical project management frameworks.

• Identify resource planning and coordination procedures in technical projects.

• Classify project scope elements in relation to technical requirements and constraints.

• Evaluate performance indicators used in monitoring technical project execution.

• Outline risk mitigation strategies in projects with engineering or system constraints.

Targeted Audience:

• Technical project managers.

• Engineering team leads.

• Project planners and coordinators.

• IT and systems implementation officers.

• Operations managers in technical fields.
