Presentation synopsis |
Attend this session to
learn how to build a new kind of project map
that enables you to move your project forward
with confidence. See your whole project on a
page, and a complete picture of all your
stakeholders with information flow. Kathleen
will also teach you a fast diagramming technique
that will support more complete creation of:
program charters, project charters, scope
statements, stakeholder lists, change management
plans, deliverable descriptions, information
flow, communication plans and learning plans.
This talk will also explain where effort should
be concentrated and what groups might have more
dependencies or require more attention. Includes
demonstration and group exercise. |

Presentation
synopsis |
The 20th
century
brought
organizational
management
of routine
operations
to a high
level. But
executing
change
in an
increasingly
fast-paced
and
competitive
world
remained a
challenge –
one that
project
management
has evolved
to meet.
This
presentation
emphasizes
that project
management
is a
discipline
distinct
from
“management
in general,”
and gives
examples of
organizations
that are
aligning
their
projects and
programs
with
strategic
goals. |

Presentation
synopsis |
The workshop
is designed
to bridge
the gap
between the
theory and
practice of
Project
Management,
especially
as it
applies to
the world of
IT
projects.
Such
projects
have become
increasingly
complex, and
are
characterized
by
accelerated
changes in
technology,
new business
models,
virtual
teams and
increased
expectations
of the user
community.
The workshop
will also
address key
factors that
contribute
to a
successful
outcome for
IT projects
by meeting
or exceeding
stakeholders’
expectations.
The speaker
will share
with us a
summary of
proven
principles
and
guidelines
that are
consistently
used by
outstanding
Project
Managers,
and can be
implemented
and
integrated
into any
existing
methodology
or
environment. |

challenges you face managing projects? And wouldn’t more get done in less
time, and increase your skill level as you go? Well, at

What
is this program?
The Situational Coaching Program is designed to help
project managers manage through the difficult parts of
their projects with more skill and less wasted time.
Participants with expertise in certain skills and/or
areas of project management (‘coaches’) will coach
others seeking input (‘recipients’) to:
• Work through a current problem
in the management of a project
• Solidify a specific
skill in the area focused on above, so it can be applied
in any situation (the mature skill phase of the above
point);
• Take any aspect of their project management
practice at a higher level of mastery
Why Join the
Program?
