Explore the diverse roles in a project, from project managers and stakeholders to analysts, testers, trainers, and schedulers, and learn how coordination with internal and external stakeholders drives success.
See how the sponsor authorizes a project with the charter. The change control board, steering committee, and business analysts drive requirements gathering and oversee progress.
Harness subject matter experts and project managers to define tools, prototypes, testing documents, and the scope, schedule, and cost baselines. Testers join late in waterfall and start early in agile.
Explore how trainers prepare end users to derive maximum value from the product, and how risk managers, change managers, and scheduling specialists ensure a smooth transition and timely delivery.
Identify and engage stakeholders to determine project success, evaluate organizational environment, and emphasize communication, sponsor support, and converting unsupportive stakeholders into allies.
Define the project manager's responsibilities and stakeholder roles, with the manager as a facilitator who guides meetings, asks key questions, and keeps discussions on track.
Understand how the sponsor authors the project charter and assigns authority to the project manager, and how scope validation, integration management, and team charter guide project success.
In order to do a successful project, we need to know about all the different people and groups, that become a part of a project. What is it that they do in a project. How do they engage in a project and HOW do you as a project manager manage these different groups. REMEMBER, projects are a collaborative effort!
By end of this class, you will have a good understanding of some of the critical roles in a project and how they help complete a project successfully. If you do not know, who are these different resources, we as leaders, cannot successfully create a resource plan or build an execution strategy. Project teams and stakeholders are very important to maximizing the value of a project. No longer are stakeholders, just a customer for projects, but they are valuable people, who can drive a project to success by providing inputs and feedback. Teams and the project manager need to work with them effectively and engage that appropriately in the project work. Project managers are facilitators and will need the team members to play varied roles in driving the project. Some of these team members can be risk owners, communication agents and more.
At the end of the course, you will do a project to define roles and assign responsibilities for the people in your project work.
This course is to the point and will give you the information you need to lead a project, a team and engage stakeholders.
