SCOs for practitioners

This Certified Training (CT) offers a journey through the entire project life cycle (PLC) with SCOs (Simplified cost Options). The training requires a bit of study and preparation at home, several self-organized team meetings, participation up to 5 interactive online meetings and finally the attendance to a two-days in person meeting. The two-days meeting is all about working in small groups, exchanging, discussing and learning in different settings solving tasks related to SCOs along the PLC. You will act and understand in different roles to better understand the perspectives and interests of the parties involved in developing and implementing an SCO system. Yes, it is a bit of a roleplay: we think that playful ways of learning are fun and they are for sure quite effective and efficient.

Who is it for? 

 This training might be interesting for you in case:
