DYNAMICS
As part of our methodology, in this course the following dynamics
will be used:
[
CASE STUDIES
› Ricardo Vargas and the Macrosolutions’ team have selected a relevant set of case studies and
exercises that allow the participants to associate real and fictional cases the to daily work.
› All case studies are appropriate to the nature of the client and the training audience.
[
GROUP WORK
› Several studies and exercises will be proposed by the instructor in order to present a particular
topic or discuss a particular approach to project management.
› Throughout the training the teamwork will be encouraged and strengthened as a mean for the
group to learn.
[
SIMULATORS
› To discuss some mathematical and statistical approaches, the instructor will perform specific
mathematical simulations to estimate the expected results for the risks, schedules, costs,
among others. They are computational methods that use mathematical concepts, operational
research and statistics as a conceptual basis.
[
LEARNING EXERCISES
› During the training, students perform concepts retaining quick exercises. Usually the exercises
are quick and direct and involve some kind of mathematical calculation.
