A Bridge to Enterprise Project Management, Part 1

 

Project Management Workshop

"Plans are only good intentions unless they
immediately degenerate into hard work."
 -- Peter Drucker



The Project Management Workshop provides a one-day overview of how project management increases productivity through better management of project scope, schedules, resources, deliverables, communications, teamwork and management without line authority. 

This combines the best of a project management course and a workshop, participants develop project objectives, a schedule, resource assignments, risk assessments and skills for management without line authority, all within the contexts of their own projects.  The Project Management Workshop allows participants to build their own strategic project plans as they learn and is often presented with the
