Estimate Activity Resources is an evolving process.
Estimating project resources is performed iteratively and along with other aspects of planning such as time, cost and scope planning.
If you identify your resource needs early on you have more chance of avoiding bottlenecks, getting a more reliable planning, enabling better calculation and planning on the availability of people with the necessary skills, providing greater reliability, having resources available and ready to deploy when they are needed without wasting critical project time.
In this course, you will gain an understanding of project resource planning which is undertaken to define what resources and skills are required to conduct the work to achieve the projects deliverables.

The purpose of cost estimation is to predict the quantity, cost, and price of the resources required to complete a job within the project scope.
Once the Project Team have identified and analyzed all of the work packages for the project, a cost estimate can be created for each work package. During this process the costing options are discussed and reviewed.
To establish an estimated cost against project tasks and activities that feed into the subsequent Cost Management processes, the Project Manager should first understand what’s involved in predicting quantity, cost, & price of resources.
In this course, you will gain an understanding of the cost estimation process and how to get to the financial commitment required for a successful project.

Mobilization refers to the activities carried out after the client has appointed the trade contractors, but before the trade contractors commence work onsite. It is a preparatory stage during which the majority of activities are managed by the construction manager.
Sometimes, the project manager and construction manager roles overlap with each other. At the start of the project, each role must be defined very well to avoid conflict on decision making when actual construction begins.
In this course, you will gain an understanding of the key deliverables and milestones during the fit out construction works.

When undertaking an accommodation change, the project team should seek to understand that the new workplace project should not operate separately to the rest of the business.
Those companies that communicate well will look to align the changes in the workplace with the data strategy to get the right operating model for their business. Larger workplaces will try to move to enterprise-wide alignment of data-related initiatives at the same time as changing work premises, making sure they get the right operating model for their business and that any technology provided to support the new workplace best supports its employees and improves business performance.
In this course, you will gain an understanding of the myriad of factors that must be considered when undertaking a technology project, whether it be as part of the new accommodation aspirations or whether it is a technology rollout.

Communication to many of us means sending and receiving information.
How we do this on a day to day basis, can involve face to face transactions or interactions over phone or computers.
Why do you think communication is just as important when managing a project? Well, for the obvious reasons of course as Project Teams need to communicate to work effectively, but also because Project Managers spend a good deal of the time in their projects communicating with others. A lot more time is spent having these interactions than managing project documents.
In this course, you will gain an understanding of the importance of communication in Project Management, and how to develop and analyze Communication Plans.
