Audience: The second of two foundational workshops, this course is targeted at individuals whose
role requires they lead, manage, or participate effectively as a contributor to projects. It is designed
to teach all project participants how to improve project performance regardless of their project role.
Description: This course focuses on the key tools and techniques everyone needs to know in
order to improve performance on all their projects. It is not enough to individually understand project
management. Applying it effectively with others on projects requires skill. This course teaches
participants "Five Golden Rules of Project Management" critical to adapting and navigating through
the real and challenging situations they encounter on projects every day - demanding goals, tight
schedules, changing priorities, scarce resources, various conflicts, and competing commitments.
Through simulated project cases, exercises, and discussions, participants learn how to use the 5 Golden
Rules to maximize their own contribution and form strong, collaborative teams that consistently complete
projects successfully - and with a better experience for all.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion, course participants will understand how to:
- Recognize the right and wrong ways to kick off a project and gain team member commitment
- Get the best from every team member and be the best possible team member yourself
- Know when and how to involve the Project Sponsor for key decisions and to resolve difficult issues
- Recognize and address signs of team member disengagement or lagging commitment
- Achieve productive cross-functional collaboration personally and team-wide
- Deal with the inevitable (and sometimes major) project changes
- Communicate scope changes in ways that avoid blow-ups and conflicts
- Engage project influencers to avoid misunderstandings, minimize surprises and keep support
- Use Project Scope, Work Breakdown Structures, Cross-functional Plans, etc. as planning, communication, and mistake-avoidance toolsavoidance tools
