Work breakdown structure (WBS) – A powerful Project Management Tool

The webinar was simply amazing. The faculty was very well prepared and well knowledge in the topic. I used to follow the WBS, but after this webinar, I have learned few concepts about WBS which I was not aware of. Thank you!

– Venkat Prasad (Executive Program Manager, NCR)

Raghuraman given excellent explanation, which will help me to understand and prepare in future.

Hi Raghu,

By far one of the best training programs I have witnessed till now. The technical proficiency was an expected outcome, but the differentiators were unique training approach, influencing the change in the mindsets towards PROGRESS as a technology and building a solid base for PROGRESS & good programming practices. Customer expressing their surprise on the quality of output from the participants, meager 4 weeks of training, by itself is the measure of the success of the Program. We were glad to see 8 out of the 9 resources getting deployed on the project and contributing actively.

Thanks to your honest effort and unique approach of building competencies and not just doing a technology training.

Daljit Singh Rana (Global Delivery Head for Progress, Tata Consultancy Services)

Hi Raghu,

We at Broadridge India were extremely happy with the training provided by your team in Progress. Team trained by you has become productive in one of the complex progress application in a fairly short time and this helped us in developing required trust and from the onshore team. Team is now handling business critical functions and I personally believe this wouldn’t have happened without your support.

Srinivas Vinjamur (AVP, Broadridge Financial Solutions)

Dear Raghu,

I would like to thank you for completing the training successfully and making the team ready to face productive environment.

The training plan was well laid out and executed without deviation. Your initial assessment of the team and adjustment of training duration really worked well. After looking at the scores, I felt, team has learned and understood PROGRESS concepts in depth.

We look forward to work with you in future.

Thanks and regards,

Dear Mr. Raghu,

Season’s greetings to you!Your association with us during the training program on MS Project has been a learning process supported by your approach of problem solving.

Your post–training support to resolve issues in preparing & tracking a project plan, continued years after years is astonishing. We could use the learning in our ongoing project implementation of a manufacturing unit installation and found it useful for day to day monitoring and management decisions.

Thanks for your continuous support.
