Description

Successful projects and teams start with planning.

Many engineers plan the project well, having a good understanding of the time cost and quality required for each task, but do not think about how the team will work together. It can come as a rude shock, when your perfect project plan is blown out of the water because of team conflict. That’s what this training course will help you with…how to plan your team for success.

Planning for team success will help prevent rework, increase profit margins and will enable more effective conflict management.

The course will focus on setting a good vision for your team, writing individual and team objectives, identification and elimination of waste, and creating great processes that achieve objectives and add value for both your internal and external customers.

The course duration is 1 hour. Each lecture has a workbook and a template to support you as you put these principles into practice.
