Elaborate a work breakdown structure, setting short-term goals" 

In this Postgraduate diploma, students will enhance their management, organization, planning and analysis skills to ensure the success of their Technology Projects. To achieve this, we will begin by defining the role of each member of the team, starting with the manager in charge. This will be essential to know the degree of responsibility of each of the parties.  

After the planning is done, some changes may occur that were not considered and that may cause an increase in the time it will take to execute the work, also increasing costs. With this program, students will learn how to avoid these types of incidents by developing different action strategies based on the scope and requirements of the project.  

In addition, they will have the opportunity to perform a work breakdown structure, which consists of defining a hierarchical structure that divides each activity into smaller, more manageable tasks, allowing users to view each deliverable independently. This will help to better understand the importance of knowing how to manage working time in order to maximize the benefits to the company. 

Ultimately, students will evaluate a cost management plan, in which some tools and techniques are used to ensure results when submitting a budget for approval. To do this, they will need to know what information they need to enter into the management tools. One of them is the "earned value", which is a parameter that reports the cost and time deviations involved for the project. As a result, students will be able to gain in-depth knowledge of all these procedures, making them more effective in their daily work. 

With the knowledge provided in this Postgraduate diploma, the student will be able to make accurate, fast and effective decisions, which will be supported by a series of concrete data on the reality of the job.
