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

The Project Management Institute (PMI) has published the 6th edition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide) and a companion guide dedicated to agile practices.

The impetus?

According to the PMI 2017 Pulse of the Profession^® report, a full 71% of organizations say they are using agile approaches for their projects sometimes, often, or always. And yet, for many practitioners the adoption of agile practices often means a diminished role for the project manager.

Join Bonnie Cooper in this webinar to explore the agile infusion in the PMBOK^® Guide and the companion Agile Practice Guide, as well, and the reality of trying to integrate traditional project management and incremental, adaptive development practices.

Learning goals:

• Review of the PMBOK Guide – Sixth Edition changes and Agile Practice Guide
• Discuss what it means to be an agile project manager
• Discuss the reality of the integration between traditional project management and agile development practices

The best project managers know that managing the expectations, goals and objectives of key stakeholders is critical to project success.

If the stakeholders aren’t satisfied, even the most efficient and well-executed project won’t be deemed successful in the eyes of those that matter most.

The best way to ensure stakeholder needs are met is to establish them up front, along with clear and mutually agreed upon communication and project completion requirements.

By considering stakeholder perceptions while developing the project charter and project plan, you can avoid unnecessary readjustments during project execution.

Bonnie will review:

• How to initiate projects that help your organization achieve its goals
• How to develop a project charter and a project management plan
• How to identify and analyze project stakeholders and determine their information needs and communication requirements
• How to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure their satisfaction
