Project Resource Management Training in Accra, Ghana
Classroom training in Accra · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 4,500
Projects rarely fail for lack of a plan; more often the right people, equipment or materials are not available when the plan needs them, or the same specialist is promised to three teams at once. The week starts with resource management foundations: resource types, the resource breakdown structure, roles and responsibilities and the resource management plan. You then estimate effort and quantities using analogous, parametric and bottom-up techniques and load resources onto the schedule. Allocation sessions cover resource histograms, overallocation, resource levelling and smoothing, and the trade-offs with the critical path.
Day four turns to people: team formation, RACI charts, motivation, conflict resolution, virtual teams and performance reviews. The final day covers managing resources through change, from reallocating staff when priorities shift to releasing resources at closure and sharing them across a portfolio. Project managers, resource and PMO managers, team leaders, planners and functional managers who supply staff to projects will see immediate use for the tools. Using a case schedule, you produce a resource plan, levelled histogram and team charter that you can adapt for live projects.

About this course
This comprehensive 5-day programme equips participants with practical expertise in project resource management. Designed for working professionals across Africa, the course combines theoretical foundations with real-world case studies and hands-on exercises. Participants leave with immediately applicable tools and frameworks.
Whether you're advancing your current role or transitioning to a specialization, this course provides the skills and confidence needed to excel in today's data-driven environment.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how project resource management is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for resource management, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
