In this webinar Owen Anthony will focus on practical ways to improve the transition from project delivery into business as usual.  Looking at lessons learned from other schemes and sharing success factors that support better handovers of schemes, the emphasis will be to help projects deliver benefits.

Billions of pounds are spent globally every year on projects and much has been written and taught about how to manage them as effectively as possible, but if they are not then handed over well, what is the point?

Without focusing on how to pass the project into the business as usual/ end user environment, the chances of the project delivering the benefits it was commissioned for in the first place are significantly reduced.

Owen led an APM research fund study which aimed to identify how handovers can be improved. The study drew upon learning from other organisations including Crossrail, The Ministry of Defence, Mediacity and many others.

The purpose of this talk is to share the findings of the research report, along with some practical tips and recommendations that can be applied to projects to improve their handover.

The lessons learned from project teams over the past few years have shown there are common pain points that exist.

These show up on all types of projects and inflict pain for both the Project Manager and the Team Member.

These data show the pain points cluster around:

• Communications,
• Scope,
• Time and
• Resources.

If we dig into the root causes we can find that there are opportunities for us to fix these pain points and transform our teams into the high performance teams we desire.

Learning Objectives:

• Explore the primary sources of pain for Project Managers and Team Members
• Discover how the PMI 10 Knowledge Areas provide context for Root Cause Analysis
• Identify pain-point fixes using the available processes, tools, techniques or approaches that will address root cause

• Project Management relies heavily on people to design and deliver services, products and results.
• Project Managers are accountable for ensuring teams remain focused, in tune and motivated.

It’s in the Human DNA that we are motivated by different goals, desires & aspirations. We have different levels of skills, work ethics and emotional intelligence.

We even have preference on how we like to work, communicate and solve problems. So how can a project manager ensure that his/her project won’t suffer from problems linked to people issues?

In this presentation Benjamin Govindsamy (LinkedIn profile) will unpack what a Team Charter is and how it can be positioned as an effective tool for creating a cohesive team. Yes you read correctly – A Team Charter and not the Project Charter.
