Risks exist on projects because by definition, projects possess uncertainty. Organizations that ignore risks experience reduced project success rates due to the wasted effort and delays that result from dealing with issues.
Risk management methodologies address this challenge but tend to be too theoretical or require significant process discipline or historical data to be practical.
During this webinar you will learn practical, lightweight best practices for managing risks throughout a project’s lifecycle.
Benefits of managing risks through this approach include:
- Improved project predictability
- Improved ROI for your overall portfolio
- Quantification of cost & schedule contingencies
- Reduced effort spent resolving project issues
Who should attend this webinar?
Managers/Directors of PMOs, Project Managers

Everyone agrees that good communication is important for project success, yet how many of us really practice good communication?
Successful projects require good communication between all the people on the project, including but not limited to: project managers, team members, stakeholders, vendors and support people.
However, project communication involves more than just who we communicate with, it also involves the what, how and when we communicate.
Unless you are a one person project, communication is important to your project success and this webinar will help you improve your project communication.
Join Sandy Haydon, PMP (LinkedIn profile) to explore the complexities of project communication. We will cover:
- Who to communicate to?
- What to communicate?
- When and how often to communicate?
- How to select the best media (in person, phone, email, etc.)
As well as other considerations, such as location (the next office, across the country, or around the world), cultures, and generational differences.

The PMBOK® refers to the concept of progressive elaboration as a recommended method for defining the project’s scope and producing project outcomes.
Many teams struggle with applying progressive elaboration or lack the knowledge to apply these techniques in manner which allows for continual clarification of the project scope versus expanding the boundaries of the project scope.
In this 1 hour live in-depth Webinar participants learn how to:
- Apply progressive elaboration concepts on the creation of project deliverables
- Use the Wave Concept to develop project deliverables in a collaborative meeting setting
- Keep stakeholders focused on the deliverable or task at hand during meetings
- Structure a progress elaboration meeting activity expand the depth of knowledge for a deliverable without expanding the scope of the project effort
Join Solutions Cube for this 1 hour in depth presentation to learn how to avoid allowing progressive elaboration to become an uncontrolled scope creep dilemma on their projects. This is part 3 of a three part series presented by Solutions Cube.
