A Workshop Correlating the PMBOK Processes
with Project Management Applications of SAP

 


Course Description

Do you know how to set up and use SAP (and other tools) to execute the PMBOK processes? This 4-day workshop bridges the gap of two often-used approaches to increase an organization's project management capabilities: Formal training in project management principles (PMBOK) and in the use of software (SAP). It correlates PMBOK process groups to specific functionality in SAP, and explains how such knowledge can lead to tangible results for an organization.

"Managing Projects with PMBOK and SAP" reconciles terminology, functionality, and concepts, and points out ways to set up SAP in a manner that maximizes the practical implication of formal project management training. It is of high practical relevance for every SAP-centric organization that wants their users to apply principles of the PMBOK in real life.

About Workshops

What Workshops are about...

Workshops are high-impact, action and results-oriented courses. They address specific technical, functional, or process tasks that are needed to increase an organization's project management readiness. Without being a substitute for technical or generic project management training, they guide through the tasks of reaching tangible results.

Participants should have a basic understanding of project management, and of the relevant tools and applications they are using.
