Q. What is Project R.E.A.L.?

A. Real Experience; Applied Learning. That’s R.E.A.L.! Our live training exemplifies exceptional professional development instruction for project practitioners. This advanced course expands on students’ previous learning and job experience in a robust, dynamic, and fast-paced environment using a hands-on, live project simulation.

Q. What Can I Expect from Live Simulation?  

A. You will take part in a full project life cycle playing multiple roles (PM, BA, QA, and Development), utilizing multiple methodologies, developing project artifacts, and completing tasks and deliverables of a real project.  You will actually fill various project roles, carry out the related responsibilities, and experience firsthand how they function in a project.  The workshop will prepare you to handle obstacles that can impede project success. You won’t just practice what you might do, you will experience it and actually do the work in an accelerated fashion.  This course will share real life success stories and failures that will help guide you through both the Project R.E.A.L. experience and back on the job.

Q. Who Can Benefit from Project R.E.A.L.?

A. Project R.E.A.L. was designed for both Project Management and Business Analysis professionals. Whether you are a Project Manager, a Business Analyst or a Process Analyst, Watermark Learning’s live simulation will expand on your previous experience in a robust, dynamic, and fast-paced environment.

Q. Why Choose Watermark Learning?

A. Every simulation we deliver is a hands-on, realistic project experience guided by experienced facilitators with extensive backgrounds in Project Management, Business Analysis and at least 20 years of project experience in a variety of business environments to draw from. Project R.E.A.L. was selected from numerous submissions received from around the world as PMI’s continuing professional education 2011 Product of the Year.

Q. What do Former Students Say about Project R.E.A.L?

A. Dan Ruemping of Boston Scientific said, “Your Project R.E.A.L. training is coming in handy over here in Afghanistan. We’re gaining buy-in from stakeholders on their process and discussing their issues. Everyone is on board so far, which is awesome. So, bottom line, thanks for a great learning experience that I have been able to put to immediate use for a very important assignment.”

Q. How is Project R.E.A.L. Offered?  

A. If you have a group of 10-16 colleagues who could benefit from this kind of intense, “next level” of skill development, Watermark offers this course as a private, onsite class for organizations like yours.  We have successfully delivered this class dozens of times for organizations looking for a way to provide their most experienced project and analyst professionals with a challenging learning experience that will transform them into the kind of “take charge” trusted advisor that companies desperately need for project success.
