SUMMARY:Project Management Essential
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nAs a project manager you need to handle many things at once; people\, stakeholders\, resources\, budget\, assistants\, technical issues. In addition\, knowing how other teams are doing is essential so you don’t fall behind. It is a juggling activity and as such requires a well-practiced skill. Fortunately\, there are many principles that can be used for a successful head start. This practical course will help you to learn the skills of a successful project manager quickly and efficiently. \nMany companies are realizing that the traditional project management principles are no longer applicable in today’s extremely dynamic and demanding environment. A fixed approach of planning is no longer a good method since it is very difficult to anticipate everything in advance and respond to it in the plan. Instead\, more agile planning methods are required to accommodate for changing markets\, technology and resources over the course of a typical project. \nAs a result\, new project managers must be systematically thought on best practices and established management techniques. In this course\, you will understand the role of project manager as a broker of information. The emphasis here is on the day-to-day running of a project as opposed to leading a team using emotional skills. \nYou will learn how to manage time\, resources\, cost\, risk and quality using a variety of practical hands-on exercises. This course includes the following topics: \nLearning Objectives:\nAfter completing this course\, students will be able to:\nCreate a working definition of the term “project management.” \n\nPurpose of the Project Charter\nScope Definition & Clarification\nIdentify Deliverables – Work Breakdown Structure\nProject Risk Analysis & Management\nEstimating Cost & Duration\nActivity Sequencing – PERT/Critical Path Method\nDeveloping Scheduling & Project Baseline\nProject Kickstart & Execution\nProject Monitoring & Control\nManage and Control Changes\nProject Closure & Handover\n\nTarget Audience \nThe Project Management Essentials course is ideal for \n\nProject Managers wishing to formalize their skills and/or to revisit fundamental principles.\nTechnical specialists/engineers moving into a project management/team leadership role\, or working for a project manager.\nMembers of Project Teams who wish to broaden their understanding of the Project Management\nFramework and its essential disciplines.\n\nCourse Outline \nDAY 1\nModule 1: Communication Management \n\nPreparing for Project Execution\nProject Quality Management\nBeing a Project Manager\n\nModule 2: Initiating the project – Feasibility \n\nStakeholder Analysis & Management\nProject Scope Identify & Management\nWork Breakdown Structure (WBS)\n\nModule 3: Risk Analysis Management \n\nEstimating – Schedule & Cost\nCritical Path Method – Float Calculation\n\nModule 4: RAM – Responsibility Assignment Matrix \n\nResource Estimating & Optimization\nResource Levelling\nContract Requirement\n\nEND OF DAY 1 \nDAY 2\nModule 5: Communication Management \n\nPreparing for Project Execution\nProject Quality Management\nMonitoring Project Progress\n\nModule 6: Tracking the progress \n\nEarned Value Performance Management\nSPI – Schedule Performance Index\nCPI – Cost Performance Index\n\nModule 7: Schedule Compression Techniques \n\nFast Tracking\nCrashing A Project\nManaging Changes & Issues\nPreparing for handover\n\nModule 8: Acceptance process checklist \n\nProject Closeout Meeting\nPost-project evaluation\n\nEND \n  \n \n  \nJoin Today!

SUMMARY:Analyzing Data with Power BI
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis two-day training provides participants with the basic knowledge and skills to create simple reports and analyse data with Power BI Desktop.\nTarget Audience\nThe target audience for this course are managers\, executives and business users who need to analyze data & create interactive reports or dashboards. \nLearning Objectives:\nAfter completing this course\, students will be able to: \n\nDescribe key features of a self-service BI solution\nDescribe Power BI and its data sources\nModel\, shape\, and combine data\nDescribe Power BI data visualizations\n\nCourse Outlines \nModule 1: Introduction to Self-Service BI Solutions\nIn this module students will be introduced to the key concepts in business intelligence\, data\nanalysis\, and data visualization. In addition\, they will learn the rationale for self-service BI\,\nconsiderations for using self-service BI\, and how Microsoft products can be used to implement\na self-service BI solution. \n\nIntroduction to business intelligence\nIntroduction to data analysis\nIntroduction to data visualization\nMicrosoft tools for self-service BI\n\nModule 2: Introducing Power BI\nThis module introduces Power BI desktop where you connect to data and build your reports. Power BI makes things visually appealing. It has an easy drag and drop functionality\, with features that allow you to copy all formatting across visualizations. \nPower BI service will host your reports on cloud for users to view & consume your reports without the need to install Power BI. Interactions between visuals\, drill down and filtering capabilities will still function as normal. \n\nPower BI Desktop\nCreating a Microsoft account and its advantages\nPower BI service (cloud based)\nMicrosoft Power BI vs Other BI applications\n\nModule 3: Power BI Data\nThis module describes Power BI data sources. Power BI can access vast volumes of data from multiple sources. It allows you to view\, analyse\, and visualize vast quantities of data that cannot be opened in Excel. When the source is changed\, a one click re-fresh is needed to see the updated reports. Power BI uses powerful compression algorithms to import and cache the data within the PBIX file. \n\nIdentify and connect to a data source\nHandling data from multiple sources\nChanging the data source settings\nSelect a storage mode / load setting\nExamine data structures\, interrogate column properties\nRemove unnecessary rows / columns for optimisation of performance\n\nModule 4: Interactive Data Visualizations\nThis module describes Power BI visualizations. Data visualization is the graphical representation of information and data. By using visual elements like charts\, maps\, data visualization tools provide an accessible way to see and understand trends\, outliers\, and patterns in data. \n\nCreating Power BI reports\nAdding visuals to reports & choosing the right visuals\nConfigure and formatting visuals\nImporting custom visuals from App Source\nImporting downloaded visuals from file\nUsing slicers to filter visuals\nUsing the filter pane to filter visuals & reports\nPerform top N analysis\nSorting visuals and configuring a custom sort\nCreating a hierarchy and performing drilldown into data\nUsing built-in measures to summarise data\nEdit and configure interactions between visuals\nDesign and configure for accessibility\n\nModule 5: Shaping and Combining Data\nThis module describes how to shape and combine data. The most important part of any BI tool is combining\, cleaning & re-organise data into a tabular format to enable data modelling & analytics. \n\nIntroduction to Power Query\nResolve inconsistencies\, unexpected / null values\, and data quality issues\nIdentify and create appropriate keys for joins\nTransforming and re-shaping data\, date transformations\nApply user-friendly naming conventions to columns and queries\nCombining data (multiple scenarios in appending data)\nCombining data (merging data vs related tables)\nConfigure data loading\nFormulas in Power Query\n\nModule 6: Modelling Data\nThis module describes how to model data in Power BI. Getting insights to your data is the goal of data analytics. Here\, important metrics is calculated for comparison / tracking performance. \n\nIntroduction to Power Pivot\nUnderstanding Relationships\nIntroduction to Data Analysis Expression (DAX)\nFormulas in Power Pivot – Calculated columns and measures\nHandling dates in Power Pivot\nBest practise in data modelling\nBuilding an Interactive Report\n\nPricing:\nRM 750 Per Person (HRD Corp Claimable Course) \n  \n\n  \nJoin Today!
