Projects are the mechanism to realize business strategy, create competitive advantage and achieve organizational transformation.

Important stuff, but most often, projects are being done in addition to ongoing business operations with constrained resources.

Therefore success is dependent on getting the right resources, spending your budget wisely, and keeping people focused and motivated to execute.

Warning signs that a project is headed to failure include missed deadlines, confusion, conflict and churning. All this can contribute to project manager and team burnout.

Effective project managers look for these early warning signs of failure and burnout so they can take corrective actions, but more importantly, they proactively work to avoid them.

In this webinar you will learn tips and techniques to:

• Cultivate a healthy environment for your project, your team, and yourself
• Create best practices you can rely on to drive the project forward
• Leverage relationships to support and motivate

Agile project management is a game changer, especially for IT project managers.

That is because, typically, when agile is embraced by an organization, the role of project manager is de-emphasized in favor of self-organizing teams, and large strategic projects are decomposed in favor of shorter more frequent releases.

The business Project Management Office typically handles the strategic efforts, and the IT organization pivots to improving infrastructure and processes for managing code releases into environments.

So, what do these shifts mean for the IT project manager and their career path?

Using research and practical experience, this webinar introduces the agile concepts that most affect IT project managers and their options moving forward.

Main learning points include: 

• Agile concepts in relation to project management processes
• The shift from IT project manager to scrum master or product owner or subject matter expert.
• Relationship between scrum master and product owner
• New skills to succeed in the agile universe with an emphasis on:
  • Facilitator: Coaching and team development
  • Change manager: Emphasis on flexibility
  • Innovation cheerleader
  • Business story writer and backlog management

In this interactive webinar,  Christa will explore:

• Key components of high-impact feedback
• The critical connection between feedback and employee engagement
