How To Measure Anything in Project Management Series

A better approach for forecasting risk and opportunities

Advanced Project Management Insights for Analysts, Managers, Decision Professionals, and Executives

This is HDR’s most comprehensive Project Management training webinar series. It consists of a total of  15 hours of training delivered in 7 separate courses. Participants will learn how to apply quantitative analysis which measurably improves on expert judgement even in the most complex situations and with limited data. By the end of this training, there will be no “intangible” you can’t measure and you will completely rethink what and how you measure things to support the biggest decisions you make.

Sessions will be held 10:00AM-12:00PM CDT on Wednesdays starting July 23rd.

Signups for the training are now live. Sign up now as seats are limited.

                3 Asynchronous Courses Delivered Through The AIE Academy

                  asynchronous Course 1: Calibrated probability assessments

                  Learning Objectives 

                  • You will learn several techniques that have been measurably shown to improve forecasting 
                  • You will be able to apply these techniques in a series of calibration exercises to assess how calibrated you are before and after techniques.
                  • You will learn how to incorporate your training performance to further improve your estimates.

                    asynchronous Course 2: Simulations in Excel: Basic

                     

                    Learning Objectives

                    • Learn the advantages of using a Monte Carlo simulation

                    • Represent uncertainty for a wide variety of variables using existing functions in Excel

                    • Use a flexible new pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) that generates large sets of random numbers for better auditable flexibility and standardization than current methods

                    • Use key features of Excel to run thousands of scenarios in a streamlined and compact manner

                    • Chart the output of the simulation in useful graphs to provide actionable insight for decision-makers.

                      asynchronous Course 3: Simulations in Excel: Intermediate

                      Learning Objectives

                      • Use more advanced probability distributions, such as the lognormal, beta, and power law distributions.
                      • Compute information value when you have a model with several variables.
                      • Adjust your cash flows based on a stated risk tolerance.
