Managing a Project with Your Team

About this Course

“It’s the people – not the work – that cause most projects to fail.” Would you agree with that statement? Research focused on business and project failure does: multiple studies show that less than half of all organizational efforts fully fulfill their scope, schedule and budget requirements. And this failure is most often attributed not to lack of technical skill or experience but to lack of agreement between the people involved. The ability to reach consensus between project team members and stakeholders is a critical factor of an organization’s – and manager’s success. 

This two-day workshop is designed to help participants:

• Identify project stakeholders and their expectations
• Practice techniques to help stakeholders identify and agree upon project goals
• Manage stakeholder expectations with effective communications techniques.
