Whether you are using Waterfall, Agile, Lean or anything in between, team collaboration has to be a priority. To their detriment, project teams will frequently rely only on emails for all their collaboration.

For effective communication, project teams need a portal for collaboration.

SharePoint provides a common workspace for the project team to share documents, so that every member within the project team has all the necessary information about the project.

SharePoint also provides default issues and risks list to log all factors that may affect the project, and thus enables team to take necessary action to prevent or reduce their impact.

During this session Darrin will explore the integration between Project and SharePoint team sites and how to modify the team site, making it the center of your team’s collaboration.

Don’t simply hope or even demand collaboration, learn how to make collaboration easy and useful. Empower your team to collaborate with SharePoint team sites.

Presenter:  Darrin Lange, (LinkedIn profile) BAd PMP Director of Operations and Project Management at Advaiya, has 20+ years with diverse project management experience in the Information Technology industry. Working in leadership roles across diverse companies from Public Safety software companies to DaaS providers and Consulting, he has helped to shape company strategies. Darrin is now responsible for forming and facilitating cohesive teams, client interfacing, and liaising with stakeholders.

Join Sandra MacGillivray (LinkedIn profile) and learn how to leverage the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) to dramatically improve scope definition in construction capital projects.

This webinar provides an introduction to PDRI – the Project Definition Rating Index, a methodology developed by the Construction Industry Institute (CII) to ensure appropriate scope definition in construction projects.

Sandra will share how application of this proven methodology is helping industrial, infrastructure and building projects around the world achieve:

• Increased cost and schedule certainty
• Increased team alignment
• Better transparency on risks

Project teams can easily use PDRI to assess their progress on scope development and work collaboratively to identify gaps and risks early in front end planning – before detailed design and construction begins.

Live Webinar July 27th, 2016, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm  EDT
Presenter: Change Management Learning Center (PROSCI)
Duration:1 hour Webcast + Q & A – Up to 1 Category C PDU –  Free PDU

Prosci specializes in change management processes.  With a strong developed expertise in change management processes they produce high quality informative presentations and seminars

Project managers are great at explaining the ‘what’ of a change project or initiative, but we often don’t focus on the one message that inspires people to take action – the ‘why’ of the change.

As a result, people don’t commit to the change and may focus narrowly on how it will impact them.

In this interactive webinar, Karen Ball (LinkedIn profile) wtih PROSCI will apply a simple model for crafting a compelling ‘why’ for your change that will get you thinking, communicating, and engaging your organization in a new and powerful way.

Karen will also explore the use of storytelling to communicate your ‘why’ on an emotional and personal level.

The webinar will include time for you to begin crafting your ‘why’ and engage with other participants who are doing the same.

Come with a change in mind to work on during the webinar.

PROSCI literally “wrote the books” on Change Management:

• ADKAR®: A Model for Change in Business, Government and our Communityby Jeffrey M. Hiatt
  • ADKAR®—awareness, desire, knowledge, ability and reinforcement
• Change Management: The People Side of Change by Jeffrey M. Hiatt

These texts are a MUST READ for anyone performing Change management as a part of their role!
