Build processes – and people
Managing people who are temporarily assigned to a project under your leadership differs from managing an ongoing workgroup. Because it is “only a project,” special challenges are commonly encountered. Project team leadership, political strategy and member motivation is different.
You will discover ways to keep project team members working together efficiently and effectively. Discussion will cover:
- Planning accurate schedules and forecasting
- Creating budget estimates and contingencies
- Defining roles and responsibilities of team members
- Handling change control
- Setting your project up for success
- Managing stakeholders and expectations
- Managing project risks
- Methodologies
From long-range project planning, to political strategies for team building, to bringing closure to the assignment, you will leave with tools needed to be an exceptional project manager.
