Project Management for Telecommunications and Network Rollouts

Telecommunications rollouts across Africa combine tight deadlines, dispersed sites, vendor dependencies and demanding regulators. This course applies project management specifically to network deployment, from site acquisition through installation, integration and acceptance. Delegates learn to coordinate the many parties involved and keep large rollout programmes on schedule and on budget.

What you will be able to do

  • Plan a network rollout that accounts for site acquisition, civil works and integration.
  • Coordinate vendors, tower companies and internal teams against a shared schedule.
  • Manage the regulatory approvals and community engagement that gate site delivery.
  • Track rollout progress across many sites using clear milestone reporting.
  • Manage acceptance testing and handover to operations and maintenance.
  • Control cost and quality across a high volume, repeatable deployment programme.
