This gradual shift from desktop to mobile has changed the way we function and carry out our operations today. People are no longer confined to their cubicles or their desktops and today’s millennial prefer operating on the go anytime and anywhere.

This is the reason why all big Tech Giants are now going ‘Mobile First’.

Microsoft Project is undoubtedly the best project management software available and no one could deny that. But it does have its limitations and a major one is the absence of it’s native app.

Setting Your Project Up for Success

Program and Project Managers (PMs) have the primary responsibility for developing and managing projects according to government requirements and measurable performance standards.

They ensure that all activities in the project life-cycle achieve their intended outcomes.

This session will address the government PM’s role and a number of tools that can be used during performance of the project to ensure a successful post-award phase of the acquisition process.

Proper planning dramatically increases your odds of meeting project objectives and coming in on time and under budget.

In this webcast, you’ll discover the tools to initiate a government project successfully.

Denise Brown, will show you how to set realistic objectives and accurate baselines for scope, timeline, costs and quality.

The five key tools for project success are:

• Stakeholder Analysis
• Importance of Project Charter
• Developing Explicit Requirements
• Communications Requirements/Guidelines
• Dedicated Risk Management

While the use of these tools will vary based on the type and complexity of the project, effective project management depends on how the PM performs his/her role and how effectively the PM uses the tools available to monitor project performance

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

Has this happened to you?

Too often a simple comment by marketing to a stakeholder of “that seems pretty easy, they should be able to do that” becomes a major problem.

Marketing may not be aware of the impact on the project or the profitability of the project  by things they may have said.

Project Managers are often not aware of the hidden promises that  e marketing may have made to stakeholder in acquiring the “SALE” until issues comes up in the middle of the project .

It is to everyone’s advantage, the Project Manager, Marketing, and the Customer, to have open communication to resolve issues before they occur.

Great customer experience design demands data-driven insights from marketing, but Customer Experience (CX) teams miss out on this vital input because they don’t know what marketers can offer.

By capturing critical insights and integrating them into each step of the CX design process, marketers can best influence CX success.
