Project Risk, Cost & Schedule Control
A project reports the truth or it reports progress — control is the machinery that makes the two the same thing.

Most projects discover their overrun in the last quarter — the numbers knew long before the reporting admitted it. This programme builds the control disciplines that surface truth early: risk management run as decisions (owners, responses, money) rather than registers; cost control that measures work done against money spent, so the forecast is a calculation, not a mood; schedule control with critical-path honesty and float that is managed, not silently consumed; and progress reporting that a sponsor can trust at a glance. Participants work a realistic project through its control cycle.

Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.Risk as decisions
- Identification that finds the uncomfortable risks, not the easy ones
- Responses with owners, deadlines and money attached
- Contingency and management reserve: governed, not raided
II.Cost that tells the truth
- Earned value in plain language: work done versus money spent
- Forecast at completion as a calculation the CFO can audit
- Change control: scope moves only with money and time attached
III.Schedule and reporting
- The critical path kept current — and believed
- Float: managed deliberately, not consumed silently
- The one-page report: status, forecast, decisions needed
Frequently asked
What does the project controls course cover?
It builds the three control disciplines that surface truth early: risk management run as decisions with owners, responses and money attached; cost control by earned value, so the forecast at completion is a calculation rather than a mood; and schedule control with an honest critical path and float that is managed, not silently consumed. Participants work a realistic project through its full control cycle, including one-page reporting a sponsor can trust at a glance.
Do I need prior earned-value experience to attend?
No. Earned value is taught in plain language — work done versus money spent — and built up to a forecast at completion the CFO can audit. The course is designed for project managers, project controls professionals, planners and cost engineers, PMO analysts, and workstream leads accountable for budgets and dates.
Is the course available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the course in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your project portfolio and control environment. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
