Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager®

 

Many of today’s knowledgeable workers have quietly slipped into the role of the unofficial project manager. Unless they develop basic project management skills, they may not know how to handle various challenges that arise, such as managing expectations, keeping team members engaged and accountable, tracking project progress, and meeting deadlines. The result? High levels of stress and inconsistent results.

With innovation happening more than ever, the new agile project economy requires more and more people across organizations to manage projects successfully. The problem is very few people receive formal training on how to do it. With best practices from agile and waterfall project management, learners will be equipped with the mindset, skillset and toolset to engage team members who may or may not report to them in a way that inspires them to volunteer their best efforts. 

 

SUCCESS = VALUE + PEOPLE + PROCESS

Success starts with the core agile principle of value - a project must deliver value to an organization. Once value is established, it is people who make projects successful through a consistent process. Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager®, builds a learner's confidence to consistently start and finish high-value projects on time and with quality. 

The full-day course will provide you with the following outcomes:
