In an era of increased emphasis on Management By Projects, few organizations are fully realizing the benefits possible. Managements opportunity is to build a climate that supports project practices: improved estimates, accelerated delivery, project partnerships, an emphasis on quality, alternatives analysis, and two-way communication. Then the management team must support that climate with consistent methods and improved tools for project estimating and project management. This Executive Overview provides key managers and executives with a better understanding of the steps they can take to improve their organization's project management. It identifies the information they should expect from their project leaders in order to improve project return-on-investment, and describes the items crucial for ongoing continuous improvement.
Prerequisites:
This workshop is for anyone who spends time on projects which require up to 400 work-hours of effort spanning a duration of up to three months. The typical attendee usually works by themselves, has a considerable amount of work, and frequently requires the assistance of others within the organization to accomplish key portions of the work.
The intended audience is key managers and executives (including customer management) who direct the efforts of project leaders and teams. We tailor the level of the information and duration to the level of management involved.
Topics Covered Include:
Discuss the problems facing
today's projects, and the actions a manager can take to improve
the project environment.
Identify the variables or constraints
that the manager monitors in order to determine his or her
staff's chances of project success.
Discuss the tools and techniques
that the skilled project leader uses, and identify the benefits
of consistent use of those techniques. Identify the key questions
a manager asks, in order to assure that proper project management
techniques are being used.
Discuss the impact a manager
has on the development of project leaders, and the climate
the ideal project operates within.
