What do you do when your sponsor IS the problem???

Part of the challenge that the Project Manager/Business Analyst faces is the reality of having to serve so many different stakeholders and sometimes being pulled in very different directions.

We’re often taught that our “sponsor” is the person who is the champion of the effort. Indeed, they are often the one we’re to seek out for support and issue resolution throughout the project.

This session provides specific techniques that the project leader can use to “manage up” and build a strong relationship with your sponsor.

This two hour workshop explores a few different varieties of the “difficult sponsor” and provides specific strategies to help manage these sponsors.

Three types of difficult sponsors.

• Sponsor Type 1 – I hope you don’t mind me intimidating everyone with my overbearing nature at your team meetings…I’m just trying to help you speed things along .
• Sponsor Type 2 – I’m not exactly clear on what I’m looking for, but I’ll be sure to hold you responsible when I don’t get it…
• Sponsor Type 3 – Would you please boil the ocean? (and Create World Peace while you’re at it )

The webinar will cover topics including risk analysis, expectation setting, triple constraint prioritization, success criteria documentation, and managing difficult conversations among others.

• Define the role of the sponsor
