Summary:
Project
management isn't just for construction engineers and
military logistics experts anymore. Today, in addition to
the regular duties of your job, you are often expected to
take on extra assignments, and to get that additional job
done well, done under budget, and done on time.
This
one-day workshop is not intended to take you from a
supervisory or administrative position to that of a project
manager. However, these topics will familiarize you with the
most common terms and practices in terms of working on
projects.
Defining
Projects and Project Management
To begin
the day, we will look at what a project is and what project
management means. We will also look at some of the key
players in a project team.
The Role
of a Project Manager
This
session will examine some of the key skills that a project
manager needs. We will also look at developing a proposal
for your project.
How Can
Projects Help Me?
Often,
people see projects as just more work to do. However, if
managed properly, projects can provide tremendous growth and
satisfaction for all those involved. We will look at some of
the benefits and challenges of projects in a lecture and a
case study.
A
Project's Life Cycle
This
session will explore the four major phases of a project.
Participants will complete a mix-and-match exercise to
reinforce the concept.
Selling a
Project
If you
can identify a project that will bring benefits to your
company, that's great. However, getting support for that
project can be a whole other story. This session will look
at some ways to prioritize and sell projects.
Creating
a Vision
Before
you start planning a project, you must know what you want
the project to achieve. The best way to do this is to create
a vision statement. We will discuss what a vision statement
is and how to create one. Then, participants will work in
small groups to create a vision for a sample project.
Project
Goals
This
session will discuss the six key parts to a project goal.
Then, participants will write some goals for a project they
are working on.
Using a
Target Chart
A target
chart can help you identify the biggest priorities in your
project and help you see how to achieve your goals. This
session will explore how to create and use a target chart.
Preparing
Your Project
Once you
have decided which project to promote to others and
identified your vision and goals, there are some
considerations you want to be prepared for. Participants
will discuss six key considerations in small groups.
Laying
out the Project
Now that
we have a good idea of what our project will entail, we can
create the charter and statement of work. We will also look
at using a project planning worksheet.

We hired Rick to provide two completely different
presentations to our sales force and our customer service
teams. Both events were lively, dynamic and exciting. We
loved how he combined stage magic with his unique insights
in both of these specialties. We were all very impressed
with his highly creative programs. We loved his passion and
enthusiasm as a business speaker. Still trying to figure out
how he knew where we hid his paycheck. Totally impossible.
More impressive than when Kreskin did that!
