About

Mega projects are complex. A program composed of these super projects is highly complex. For a very large project, addressing linked issues is key to improving the chances of success. In a larger program, these key issues interact producing unexpected results. Instructors will explore critical issues in contracting, decision making, and facility design. Interface control and risk reduction are examined. Non-technical problems in stakeholder relations, partner ventures, and approvals, are also tackled. Upon completion, you will know how to: Deal with the program complexity and surprise effects Improve program strategies and deliver the projects on time Address both project and program resource concerns Instruction, guided discussion, and in-depth work tasks based on the instructor’s petroleum experience are used. The work will include both single and group activities. This course counts toward PMI Project Development Units (PDUs) through continuing education.
