New Cisco Unified Communications Project Management Training
from Global Knowledge
Cary, N.C.– May 13,
2008 – Global Knowledge, the worldwide leader in IT and
Business
training, today announced the launch of its new Cisco Unified
Communications Project
Management training class, a five-day course where students learn
to manage a Unified
Communications (UC) deployment from start to finish. The course is
designed for Cisco
engineers and other technical professionals responsible for VoIP
implementation, including
voice/data integration, as well as network engineers, VoIP project
managers, IT managers, and
VoIP project team members. Suggested prerequisites include a basic
understanding of project management processes or a familiarity with
Cisco lifecycle processes.
Using best practices and processes for
successful UC deployment, students will learn to manage
a real-world Cisco UC project. They will follow the formal project
management training framework
of initiation, planning, execution, control, and formal closing, as
defined by the Project
Management Institute (PMI), as well as the Cisco Lifecycle Approach
of prepare, plan, design,
implement, operate, and optimise (PPDIOO).
Students will learn
about:
- Project management terminology and
planning
- Cisco UC terminology, components, and
deployment steps
- Creating a business case to identify and
manage common UC deployment risks
- Developing a system implementation and
migration plan
- Formal project change control processes
- Project scheduling, budgeting, and close
out
The labs consist of two case studies in which
students perform project management tasks
individually and as a group, walking through detailed steps in
optimizing a UC solution.
This course is available in our classrooms or as a private, on-site
course that can be tailored to
the needs of your organization. Learn more about our Cisco Unified
