Webinar Description

 

This session educates participants about project estimating methods and project lifecycle fundamentals that impact the time and cost accuracy that can be achieved during the early phases of product development. Participants are enabled to estimate projects more accurately by applying a process of gradual refinement using the appropriate estimation methods and hybrid lifecycle models that can be implemented within any existing product development process. Examples and exercises demonstrate how to implement the methods.

 

Each participant leaves with an action plan for implementation that will be developed during the session.

 

This webinar enables participants to:

  • Improve the accuracy of engineering project estimates

  • Utilize hybrid project lifecycle models

  • Increase the level of buy-in and commitment to project schedules

 

Who should attend:

  • Design Engineers

  • Manufacturing Engineers

  • Test Engineers

  • Software/IT Developers

  • Technical Marketing Engineers

  • Project Leaders/Managers

  • Engineering Managers/Supervisors

  • Prospective Managers

Professional Development Units: 1.0 PDU / PDH; 0.1 CEU
