Sponsor Actions Critical to Project Success and Things Sponsors Should Not Do

Projects can be significantly supported or harmed through actions of management.

There are key actions project sponsors must take to support projects at startup and during project performance and many of
these do not take significant time or effort.

There are also things management should not do as a number of actions can harm project efforts.

This seminar is an excerpt from a longer workshop on this topic and is based on decades of industry experience.

Attendees will learn:

• Key actions management can take to support project success
• Management actions and behaviors to avoid that often harm projects
• How to communicate and work with project teams
• How to detect if a project is heading into trouble
• How to use a “Sponsors Checklist” during different phases of a project

A project sponsor checklist is provided to implement the ideas presented and time for Q&A is included.
