Class Description

To work together effectively on any project, everyone on a team needs to use a common language and have a clear understanding of expectations. This unique workshop is designed for those with limited prior knowledge of project management, or making the transition to being a project manager, or would like to know more to collaborate with their team and better manage deliverables. In just one-day, this workshop will introduce you to essential terminology and enable you to apply basic project management tools and techniques to increase your effectiveness.

Objectives:

• Identify stakeholders and their roles on a project.
• Utilize current project management tools to clearly define work to be done, scope, SMART requirements, elements of the project charter, status reports, and closure checklists.
• Create schedules that acknowledge available resources, costs, and hours.
• Ensure communications are targeted to the right people with the right level of information at the right time.
• Recognize the types and purposes of status meetings to create solid agendas, record effective minutes and utilize team members' time effectively.
• Analyze the causes for change and plan for potential risks.
• Apply project management templates for use across the project life cycle, including project charter and project plan, logs for assumptions, change, communication, constraints, and decisions

Target Audience: Individuals who would like to enhance their understanding of Project Management to establish a common language and process for themselves, their team and enhance their ability to achieve successful project outcomes for all stakeholders while remaining on time and within budget
