What Software system would be effective to control the effectiveness of the project process?
How would you avoid as a project team or leader the Scopecreep if there is no definitive outset?
I believe on the SMART goals, inspite of the time consumption to identify the project objectives that clearly support your project through out the process as an individual planner. The most valuable tools besides identifying the business proposed project and identify stakeholders need; the SMART(Specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, and time limited) goal sets and speaks out in a well defined way for the project objectives.
This course was a good review of what are Project Management Basics. The steps needed to deliver a project to become familiar with all the roles involved.
I like the class. I especially liked the availability of the worksheets to download and use after the class is over. I think this management course can be extended into the management of the classroom experience, so I will examine the possible use of the applicable parts of the worksheets towards that purpose.
When managing teams it is highly important to evaluate the overall team's performance rather than the individual contributions
Good morning,
i am looking for some input with a situation that doesnt quite fit the mold but which i am sure some of you have dealt. This employee is very intelligent and if you ask her the information, she can rattle it off without error. However, her actual work does not reflect either of the afore mentioned traits. Its full of simple errors. The errors made are on the foundational pieces of our job skills. I have spoken with her about it multiple times. She will improve for a time and then return to less than satisfactory performance. We have altered the office, implemented suggested strategies and even changed the lights in her office to a more natural feel. I know that she knows how to do the work, but its not translating in her job performance.
Any suggestions or shared experience is welcome.
Although I have years working in a leadership position, due to implementation of new changes and processes, I thought it was pertinent to strip myself from any preconceptions on what I have practiced so far, and relearn and reflect on who I am as a leader. Managing and leading a diverse group of over 50 people during transitioning times can indeed be challenging. This training made me reflect on possible approaches I can take to clearly identify the vision of the department I lead and how it is related to the mission of the company we all are part of. People tend to resist change (it's in our nature), but at the same time change is good and can bring new opportunities for us to realize our potential. I will make it my goal to establish excellent rapport with my team to ensure they feel motivated and inspired to be part of the winds of change taking place at our working environment.
