Health Project Management

A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service. Projects can last a few weeks or several years. Regardless of their scope, successful projects are the result of meticulous project management. Successful project managers combine their planning with people and technical skills to guide the project to completion. In this course, participants practice using tools to track activities, assess the performance of those activities, and use assessment results to reassess program activities.

Participants will continue to work on the projects that they proposed in the first workshop. They will develop plans for managing their interventions and discuss ways of monitoring and evaluating the project to ensure and confirm the effectiveness of the intervention.

1. Set clear, well-defined desired outcomes for work activities and tracks progress
2. Establish plans that break complex projects into components, each with its own timeline
3. Establish means of measuring performance based on defined objectives
4. Identify needed changes and makes recommendations based on data
5. Use monitoring and evaluation of results to improve work processes, procedures, and tools
