Managing Outsourced Projects

Managing Outsourced Projects

Outsourcing has become a way of life in the 21st century. Much of the project work that used to be proposed, planned, implemented, and controlled inside an organization is now being partially or completely performed at domestic and foreign suppliers. Firms are transitioning from being "doers" of projects to "buyers" of project work. How can you be sure things are being done as you desire? This course is designed to help you increase your satisfaction levels with project outputs that you buy by enhancing your effectiveness as a buyer and seller of products or services, especially for large contracts that include subcontractors and a supply chain of vendors. Instruction also covers decisions regarding make versus buy and the type of contract to use; solicitation and source selection focuses on procurement and helps you understand the use of the statement of work, common solicitation documents, seller evaluation criteria, pricing, and contract law considerations; the contract administration process, which addresses seller performance and payment on external procurements; and the closing process, which covers contract completion, termination, and disputes.

In an increasingly competitive global environment, organizations are constantly looking for methods to reduce the costs of development and production as well as reduce the time to market of the delivery of those products and services. Effective outsourcing has become of the key tools organizations are deploying to meet these critical objectives. Partial or complete outsourcing of the scope of projects is becoming more the norm than the exception. New challenges to today’s project management teams are created which impact effective levels of planning, control and communication.

This workshop will provide solutions, processes, tools and techniques to mitigate and/or reduce these challenges.

This workshop is consistent with the basic skills inventory of the Project Management Institute (PMI®) and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®).

Prerequisite: Attendees should have completed a project management seminar or have substantial background in project management.
