In today’s dynamic global market, companies are constantly responding to changing project scope and customer requirements. Budgets are cut, resources reallocated, and projects within the same company must compete for an even tighter resource pool. Added to these challenges are the difficulties of managing without direct line authority, predictable cross-functional miscommunications and organizational politics. This course addresses the common problems and provides solutions.
The Problem - Project nightmares include missed deadlines, budget overruns, just add one little thing, too many distractions, lack of clear project scope, spec creep, constant change in motion, priority shifting, waiting game, managing without line authority, and lack of accountability and ownership.
The Solution - To provide participants common methodology, terminology and tools that produce more effective results through improved accountability, reliability and consistency.
Our Approach - In this two-day program, participants will accomplish real project work in class. Participants will develop an actual project from definition to launch; learn project skills that increase clarity and communication within the project team; and establish role definition and clear accountability at all levels.
- Establish a common language and practice that can address the ten most common project barriers;
- Discover what participants may be doing, or failing to do, that keeps these barriers locked in place;
- Apply these practices in the planning of a live project so participants can identify specific opportunities for immediate application; and
- Minimize firefighting.
