Course Outline
AVOIDING LEGAL RISK IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT
(2 days)
Increasingly, organizations choose to have specialized experts manage their projects from design to completion. For an Owner, outsourcing these activities can be beneficial, cost-effective, and productive. But the Owner / Project Manager relationship carries considerable risk as well. This risk can be minimized (and even avoided) by addressing key issues at the beginning of the relationship and managing them throughout the project. Avoiding Legal Risk in Project Management examines the typical problems and legal disputes which arise in Project Management and provides participants with the tools, knowledge, and insight necessary to successfully safeguard against them. Both Owners and Project Managers will find this course valuable.
The Course will cover:
|
• |
The Owner – Project Manager Relationship |

The Roles, Responsibilities, and Liabilities of Both Parties |
