Overview
HR and administrative professionals are often handed work that used to go to specialists. These assignments are really projects, but they rarely come with training, tools or a team. This 60-minute project management webinar for non-project managers shows how to plan, run and finish them on time and on budget.
You'll start with what projects are and the factors behind success and failure, then define the business problem and analyze stakeholders. Planning covers requirements, scope, constraints and assumptions, a work breakdown structure, the critical path, scheduling and tracking.
The session also covers budget management, risk management with a risk impact matrix, people and communication plans, monitoring scope, schedule, cost and quality, and applying lessons learned at closure.
Why attend: Facing a large assignment with no experience of that kind of work can shake your confidence, especially when roadblocks appear. The fundamentals of project management, used on projects in every sector, give you proven techniques to stay on track and get results. This session suits administrative professionals, executive assistants, HR professionals and generalists, office managers, supervisors and small business owners.
