Successful projects don't happen by chance.

They begin with choosing the right approach, understanding the project lifecycle, and applying structured project management principles that keep teams aligned, risks under control, and objectives on track.

In this practical workshop, independent project management consultant Amine introduces the fundamentals of predictive (waterfall) project management. Drawing on over 16 years of experience across energy, technology, banking, insurance, retail, and consulting, he explains how predictive project management works, when it's the right approach, and how project managers can balance planning, execution, governance, and stakeholder management to consistently deliver value.
