The course is divided into seven modules, covering topics such as the history and principles of Waterfall, the project management process, various techniques and tools, quality assurance and testing, effective communication, and real-world case studies.

Course Objectives:

  • Understand the fundamental principles and key concepts of Waterfall project management
  • Effectively apply the Waterfall methodology to plan, execute, monitor, and control projects
  • Utilise various Waterfall project management techniques for successful project delivery
  • Implement quality assurance and testing processes in Waterfall projects to ensure high-quality outcomes
  • Develop strong communication and stakeholder management skills to facilitate collaboration
  • Analyse real-world Waterfall project case studies to identify success factors, pitfalls, and best practices

After attending this training, delegates will be able to effectively manage and deliver projects on time, within scope, and on budget. They will also be able to implement the fundamental principles and best practices successfully in an organisation.
