Project Management for Non-Project Managers

It is not possible to present a complete treatment of project management in the span of 60-90 minutes. It is, however, possible to focus on those most critical project management aspects that are critical to the success of any project. Without basic tools, it is not possible to effectively manage a project to the pre-determined end date without turmoil and chaos.

This webinar will address those project management critical tasks within each project phase that must be performed flawlessly for effective project execution to occur and will provide the foundation and direction for future study of the subject.

Today more than ever before the job titles that we hold are not entirely reflective of the work that we do. Global teams and collaboration often place those in positions of team leadership that have the least foundation to manage all facets of complex projects. Project management requires specific knowledge of the key project facets that must be carefully managed. The interactions across divergent corporate functions, cultures, languages, and time zones all pose unique challenges to the new project manager.
