New project managers (and sometimes seasoned project managers alike) often fall victim to a few common missteps that unfortunately can prove fatal to their success.

While project managers can often become consumed with the day-to-day crises, administrative tasks and status updating, they can sometimes lose sight of key steps that are a key part of the foundation of any successful project.

This workshop explores four specific pitfalls often faced by the new project manager and provides specific techniques and best practices that can be immediately applied to avoid them.

  • Mistake #1 – Not Dealing with the Slacker on the Team
  • Mistake #2 – Skipping the Initiating Phase
  • Mistake #3 – Skipping Risk Analysis
  • Mistake #4 – Not Being Brutally Honest with the Project Sponsor

This workshop provides practical, easy to use tips and techniques that project managers of all experience levels can use immediately to recognize and address these common missteps.
