Project Management
Increase your project completion rate. Effectively utilize team members and avoid "meeting burnout."

This program is designed for all employees.

Did you know that there is a growing trend in many companies to hire people to do project management exclusively? Currently, most companies expect their existing employees and managers to add "projects" to already full plates, because that is how change and improvement are usually implemented. But the results are often spotty, mainly due to a lack of project management knowledge.

The good news is that it is clearer and clearer which tools and techniques make for world class project management. This class teaches the best practices for project management based upon current empirical research. Participants will apply the management theories and tools to their own projects and will create a complete project plan in the class.

In this course, participants will use a simple one-page project management planning guide which will walk them through the steps that make the difference between project success and failure.

And, because project partners are so integral to the success of any project, participants will practice interviewing stakeholders and negotiating options.

Topics that will be covered include:

World class project management tool: The one page project plan
The importance of clear project goals
How to ensure project support: listen to your stakeholders
Using a Mind Map to capture ideas
Getting your team on board

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

Clarify project goals and deliverables
Quick-start a project using a simple mapping tool
Capture details of project action items
Identify and collaborate with project stakeholders regarding their needs/concerns
Delegate project tasks in a way appropriate to the person assigned these tasks
Resolve conflicting expectation and project challenges
