Project Management Ps and Qs
Are people rewarded with project management
roles, or are they punished with them? Without the right guidance,
tools, and support, it can certainly feel like the latter.
Managing projects well is vitally important,
but, without superior practices in place, an organization's
most strategic initiatives will continually be late, over
budget, and doomed for failure. With so much at stake, it's
surprising that there aren't more practical resources and
references for budding project managers to consult.
To help better understand the Ps and Qs
of project management, Lisa Toenniges has written a report
that condenses 20 years of lessons learned in the education,
training, and performance improvement industries. "How
to Manage a Large-Scale Learning Initiative" points out
principles to follow, tricks to try, and traps to avoid. In
addition, the publication includes extensive templates and
real-world examples that show exactly how to set up people
and processes for continued success.
Packed with philosophies, checklists, quoting
tools, competency models, forms, templates, and even a quick
self-assessment, this report is a handy survival guide told
in a witty, conversational, and accessible style. In addition,
a separate Microsoft Word file is included that contains many
of the forms and templates referenced in the report so you
can get started with these tools right away. It's all designed
to be a usable reference guide for anyone tasked with the
challenging role of project manager.
With the right tools, great project managers
can foster a level of quality and efficiency that can serve
as a model across the enterprise. This report can be one of
those tools to help you improve your organization's overall
approach to project management, get more organized, use
smarter communication techniques, and get on a path to achieving
business results through successful management of your organization's
learning initiatives.
