DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b73c66/project_human_reso) has announced the addition of the "Project Human Resource Management (PMBOK Guide - Fourth Edition-aligned)" training to their offering.

The Project Human Resource Management (PMBOK Guide - Fourth Edition-aligned) training bundle consists of the following three courses:

(1) Planning Project Human Resources (2) Managing Project Human Resources (3) Planning and Managing Project Human Resources Simulation

Each course is broken down further into a series of lessons as follows:

(1) Planning Project Human Resources

Overview/Description When project managers set their sights on delivering creative project solutions on time and within budget, they must select and manage a team of experienced and competent professionals who can meet the challenge. This requires that project managers understand the Project Human Resource Management processes of planning, selecting, developing, and managing a project team. While selecting the right team to do the work is critical to project success, it doesn't stop there. Good project managers know how to create the right type of atmosphere for their projects, keep their team members motivated throughout the project, and manage issues and changes that could possibly derail a project team. This course emphasizes the importance of good project human resource management to overall project performance. It covers the inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of the first two Project Human Resource Management processes: Develop Human Resource Plan and Acquire Project Team. This course provides a foundational knowledge base reflecting the most up-to-date project management information so learners can effectively put principles to work at their own organizations. This course will assist in preparing the learner for the PMBOK Guide certification exam. This course is aligned with A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) Fourth Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI), Inc., 2008.

(2) Managing Project Human Resources

Overview/Description Henry Ford once said that coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. Mr. Ford knew the importance of teamwork. Ask anyone who has worked in a project environment, and they will tell you that team dynamics can make or break a project. A positive, constructive atmosphere can keep team members motivated and productive, while a negative atmosphere can have the opposite effect. Developing effective project teams is one of the primary responsibilities of a project manager. Once the team is working effectively and the project is underway, it is time for the project manager to proactively manage the project team in order to address and resolve personnel issues that could adversely affect the project. This course covers the Develop Project Team and Manage Project Team processes, the third and fourth processes within the Project Human Resources Management knowledge area. Learners will be introduced to best practices outlined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) Fourth Edition published by the Project Management Institute (PMI). Techniques for developing project teams, such as training, team-building activities, and recognition and rewards will be discussed. Learners will also be introduced to strategies for enhancing project performance and conflict management techniques. This course provides a foundational knowledge base reflecting the most up-to-date project management information so learners can effectively put principles to work at their own organizations. It will also assist in preparing the learner for the PMBOK certification exam. This course is aligned with the PMBOK Guide Fourth Edition, published by PMI, Inc., 2008.

E-learning course feedback:

e-learning has dramatically increased the scope, range and availability of training & development to all Equant employees. No other solution could possibly have achieved this in such a short timescale, particularly given the geographical dispersement of our workforce and the commercial realities of our business. Peter Mansell, Head of Training Centre of Excellence, Equant

Where e-learning is concerned, I used to be a complete agnostic. But, twelve months on, I’m totally converted. Now that we have experienced such measurable benefits, I would have no hesitation in giving e-learning a 100% recommendation to any organization. John Guthrie, Head of International Management Development, Hilton International

'Based on our experience to date there is no doubt that e-learning will have an increasingly vital role to play as the company continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of its customers. Karl Gunner, Aspire Support Consultant, Intelligent Finance
