Presented By: Michael Greer
Are you or your company's managers sometimes overwhelmed by a demanding patchwork of tasks, schedules, deadlines - and pressure? Poor planning is the problem and it could be causing unnecessary interdepartmental logjams, stalling important company-wide initiatives, and even causing morale problems when employees see managers as continually swamped, inattentive, and preoccupied.
Developing strong project management skills can be a big help.
Not sure project management is relevant to you? Every time your managers roll out a new product or a new process, implement a new policy or procedure, switch everyone to a new software package, or create anything new... they're working on a project. In this audio conference, you will get perspectives and tools to help you bring discipline to any project so you can finish on time, within budget, and with exactly the right deliverables.
As a result, that "patchwork of tasks, schedules, and deadlines" begins to simplify, organize and prioritize itself - and work gets done much more effectively by both managers and their teams. After this conference, participants will be able to:
Learning Objectives:
Avoid making the #1 mistake that derails most projects.
Determine if what you're what you're working on is really a "project" or not.
Get all the right people involved.
Define the deliverables in "high resolution" using specific details.
Define the work process (activities, phases, overall project life cycle).
Assign roles & responsibilities to ensure ownership of tasks, streamline collaboration, and avoid duplication of effort.
Match authority to responsibility to maximize chances for individual and team success.
Create, document, and get support for the plan from all your key decision-makers.
Work the plan and make adjustments as needed to minimize delay and expense.
Get meaningful sign-offs and approvals to keep things moving towards completion.
Close out the project, archive it, and extract lessons to apply to your next project.
You will learn some fundamental and universally accepted PM concepts and see how these support a more professional approach to your work. Finally, you will receive examples, templates, and job aids to help you with your own projects. These include: The Project Charter template, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Authority/Responsibility Matrix, Effort/Duration Table, Project Status Report, Project Sign-off Form, Scope change order, guidelines for Post Mortem review, and more.
