Results Based Management is a shift from a focus on inputs and activities to a focus on outputs, outcomes, and impact. Results are the changes that can be described and measured, and it’s the consequence of a cause-effect relationship. They imply that changes in behaviors, by individuals, groups of people, organizations, government bodies, or society, have taken place.
This course takes the concepts of RBM and applies it directly to the project management environment, using all the processes and methods that will help development projects achieve the desired results. It’s designed for people that have a responsibility to manage or contribute to the results of a project, especially project managers, team members and project directors.
Participants will develop a complete understanding of the most common principles, processes, and tools that are necessary in the planning, implementation monitoring, and reporting based on best practices in the RBM field. With a special focus on the application of the results chain, the logical framework and the performance measurement framework.
