• All project managers want to deliver their projects successfully.
• Most of us define that success as on time, within budget and to the agreed upon scope.
• High customer satisfaction and high team morale are also common measures of success.

But how are these criteria for success actually met?

Hard work and long hours certainly contribute to project success. But savvy project managers know that leveraging the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the way to make sure those long hours are spent working hard on the right deliverables to stay within the constraints of schedule and budget.

The WBS defines what the project needs to produce, and what the team will do to produce it.

The WBS enables more accurate and realistic planning in defining the scope, schedule and budget, and serves as the basis for what is in versus out of scope during project execution. With a well-defined WBS, projects can be delivered more successfully.

In this webinar you will learn:

• A two-step approach for developing a WBS
• How to determine the right amount of detail
• How to produce a project artifact to answer key stakeholder questions

Organization structures in most companies today make resource management a daunting task. A lack of visibility into resource allocation and capacity, consistent prioritization and validation of actual work versus planned, contribute to this challenge.

Over 50% of IT organizations surveyed use their “best guess” when determining what capacity IT has to perform projects in a given period.

This webinar presents the fundamentals for creating and implementing a Resource Management Model using people, process and technology. A Resource Management Model is a set of processes that provide visibility, decision support and structure to effectively manage people in an organization.

Allocating resources based on availability and fit, supported by standard processes, will improve the success and predictability of projects across your organization.

Who should attend this webinar?

COO’s, CIOs, Department VPs and Managers, PMs, Resource Managers
