principles to develop a hierarchy that depicts the priorities
and interrelationships of the project needs, success
criteria, and detailed project management planning. The

Participants will also learn to use AHP in a project team
environment, developing an integrated project management
plan, from market conceptualization to detailed
design and development. You will learn how to integrate
subjective and objective information, quantify interdependencies,
test for sensitivity to unknowns, quantify the
uncertainty limits, and test for and resolve inconsistent
inputs. Topics include analytic planning concepts, project
management plan taxonomies, analytic planning process,
analytic planning metrics, and evaluation and assessment
of a project management plan.
