This workshop is to build skills and acquire resources to manage projects successfully from beginning to end.
RSVP for Zoom link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/107215969852
In the training course, we’ll go through the Project Management Institute processes of initiation, planning, execution, monitor and control, and closure. The plans we will cover are scope, schedule, costs/budget, work breakdowns and activities, resources and team, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholder management. Tools and resources will be provided such as: stakeholder analysis worksheets; requirement matrixes; business case evaluations; and asset maps. Whether you are new or experienced in project management, you’ll be able to walk away with takeaways to start or improve projects.
Prep Prompts – please think about and come prepared with answers to these prompts.
1. What is a project you want to do and have not started yet?
2. For that project, what is the goal?
3. Then try to identify a project you have completed in the recent past. Can you think of one? If not, that is OK! Just take a minute or so to see if you can identify one.
