Learn how to audit and monitor projects to assess project progress, identify and address problems, and establish best practices to ensure future project success.

If a project fails to achieve time and budget goals, the outcome can pose a significant threat to the strategic direction and financial viability of an organization. Conducting a project audit during project execution will ensure that a project is on track. The audit will uncover the issues, concerns and challenges that the project team may be encountering that could jeopardize successful execution. A project audit will identify what is going well and what needs to be improved within the project to successfully complete it. In this way, it helps a struggling project get back on track quickly. At the close of a project, a project audit can help to develop success criteria for future projects by providing a forensic review.

Learn how to conduct an in-depth project audit that will help you get your project back on track quickly. This includes: identifying the elements of a project you should be auditing, how to complete a risk assessment on a project, how to develop and report on the audit findings in a way that will ensure that the report findings get implemented.

Case examples will be used during this course to engage participants throughout the major stages of a project audit. Learn from other participants as well as stories, examples and the instructor's real world consulting and project auditing experiences!
