Implementing a Project Management Culture

As organizations strengthen and mature, the gap between the business objectives and technical solutions tends to widen, the knowledge and skill sets become more specific (and different).

Project Management is a strong bridge between these teams. It may not be an objective to become a "Project Manager" yet every employee in your organization does project management - completing a defined task by a certain time, to a specified quality level. Imagine if every employee took ownership for the tasks that they are undertaking.

The Areas covered during the session include

• What exactly is Project Management (PM)?
• What are the three areas of PM to be implemented?
• How can you define the maturity of PM in your organization?
• Where do you start in getting a strong PM culture implemented?
• What are the next steps in transforming your organization?
• What are the next steps to maintaining your personal momentum?
