Project Formulation

The Project Formulation Training Course provides a structured foundation for transforming investment decisions into clearly defined, well-planned, and executable projects. Building on the outcomes of feasibility analysis, this course focuses on the early phases of project development, where strategic clarity, stakeholder alignment, and structured planning determine long-term project success. Participants learn to translate strategic intent into a workable project charter and a comprehensive project management plan that supports disciplined execution.

This Project Formulation Course aligns closely with the PMI PMBOK® standards and emphasises the critical performance domains required for sustainable project outcomes. Delegates explore how effective initiation supports improved predictability, reduced uncertainties, and stronger alignment with organisational priorities. Through interactive learning, participants will understand how to build robust planning processes for scope, quality, schedule, cost, and risk.

With a strong practical approach, the Project Formulation Training Course enables professionals to prepare projects for execution with confidence, ensuring all required planning elements—resource coordination, communication, stakeholder engagement, and procurement—are fully integrated before work begins. This structured preparation strengthens project governance, enhances team readiness, and ensures consistent delivery across diverse project environments.

This Project Formulation Training Course is designed to enhance the capability of professionals responsible for initiating, defining, and preparing projects for execution.
