So you’ve been assigned a complex,
poorly defined project concept
So now what?

Nothing is worse (or better) for a senior project manager or analyst than being handed a project that is: strategic, very large, and way outside your comfort zone in complexity.

These projects will sometimes roll around the halls of big companies for months while they struggle to gain sufficient momentum and clarity to really move forward with a sense of purpose and direction.

• Let’s say one of these career-bruisers/-builders is yours?
• What do you do next?

This session is about the tactics of early-stage project intake and clarification – getting clarity efficiently.

Learning objectives:

1. Inside the project intake process – why is intake so dysfunctional?
2. The action plan – simple steps that drive project clarity and milestones that deliver benefit.
3. Targeted result – time tested deliverables that work

When one evaluates the project management body of knowledge, processes, procedures and common practice one cannot miss that the main focus and attention are placed on the planning processes.

Most of PMI PMBOK is dedicated to planning processes, the project management process has only one step dedicated to execution and all the rest are planning steps.

As a result, it may be perceived that the key for project success is planning and that the most important skills for a project manager are planning skills.

• Is this really the case?
• In reality of high uncertainty is it possible that planning has a much lesser effect on performance than the common perception?
• Are the common planning practices enabling successful execution or promoting a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure?

In this webinar Mickey Granot (LinkedIn profile), &  Sarah Mersereau (LinkedIn profile) will discuss the effects of the common planning practices, the importance of execution and how to better balance the two so that the ultimate objective of successful project completion is better realized.
