Project Management Essentials

Challenge

With innovation happening more than ever, the new agile project economy requires more and more people across organizations to manage projects successfully. The problem is very few people receive formal training on how to do it. No wonder so many projects struggle. Stakeholder, scope creep, no formal training, and a lack of process all combine to raise the probability of project failure costing organizations time, money, and employee morale. The good news is - unofficial project managers can build confidence to lead high-value projects and and engage teams in a way that inspires them to volunteer their best efforts.

Solution

Franklin Covey's Project Management Essentials: For the Unofficial Project Manager will help participants consistently complete projects successfully by teaching them to implement a disciplined process to execute projects and to master informal authority. This workshop combines best practices from agile and waterfall project management to equip learners with the mindset, skillset, and toolset to engage and inspire team members.

People + Process = Success

Project management isn't just about managing logistics and hoping the project team is ready to play to win. The skills of “informal authority” are more important than ever before, so team members are inspired to contribute to the project success!
