Offered by Journyx as part of the 2011 Journyx ProjectXecute Webinar Series
This webinar is 1 hour long and attendees are eligible for 1 PDU credit.
Presenter: Rick Morris, PMP, MPM. Principal at R2 Consulting, LLC.
One of the most sought after topics for project managers is how to deal with failing projects or even how to turn them around.When industry figures show a variation of 60-82% of projects failing, it is easy to see why so many seek this information.
In typical Rick Morris style, this session will not be full of theories or textbook options.Instead, it will be an introspective look into actual experiences and a telling of true lessons learned.Rick made a name for himself at Fortune 100 companies for his ability to quickly analyze, understand, and put plans in motion to turn around failing projects.Some of the stories will include:
- Dealing with difficult Sponsors
- Dealing with an unresponsive and unsupportive direct manager
- Turning around software development as wel as ITservices projects
- Dealing with ethical/moral issues
Rick will also discuss some of his personal failures in trying to bring a project back to life.As in every situation, there are times when a project will simply fail. He will also address some of the difficult lessons that he learned in some of the most trying times of his career.

Who I claim the PDU for this webinar?
As a registered attendee, Journyx will send you an email in a day or two. They will send you an attendance certificate and how to report the PDU. Keep the attendance certificate in your PDU folder in the event that PMI chooses your certification for an audit.
Squidoo (http://bit.ly/ebQA8e) explained it this way:
Maintain a Record of your PDUs: PMI randomly selects a small percentage of re-certification applications for auditing. If your application is selected for an audit, you need to produce evidence of all the PDUs that you reported. Therefore, you should maintain a folder of all PDU certificates or other documentation, which validates your claim. It is best to maintain this folder along the way.
