PM Fundamentals -- worth the time?

Next week, I'll be teaching a Project Management Fundamentals class. This is a one-day class that we run at our facility and at our clients' sites.

The question is, can you teach project management in a single day? I have taught many project management courses and programs, including a 28-week program I currently run at major university. However, many of those students are there to either (1) learn how to manage a project or (2) get some formalized training.

Most of the students who take the one-day course are typically team members. They work with project managers and need to understand what they go through in order to properly manage a project. Ironically, many project managers fly by the seat of their pants and actually know less from a formal standpoint. Although these project managers may be very good, they could be much, much better.

So is a one-day PM course worthwhile? For team members who want a high-level snapshot -- YES! For actual project managers -- it would be ideal to pass and take a longer program.
