Description

Project management is a very dangerous profession, literally!

Would you start a journey by car knowing that you have only 1 chance over 3 to arrive without damages? Yet, this is the probability of success of the average project.

And because most successful Project Managers agree that around 80% of their time is dedicated to stakeholder management, this is the area in which you should invest once you’ve learned the basics of project management.

A practical stakeholder management approach hugely increases the chances of belonging to the small elite of successful Project Managers. In fact, this course not only benefits you personally, but also your key stakeholders: the team you are working with, your company and clients.

The course focuses on the initiation phase: the period from the assignment of the Project Manager to the signature of the project charter. This project phase is regularly underestimated by Project Managers, while in reality this is the stage when you have the biggest chances to establish solid foundations for a successful project.

During the course, you learn to build a trusting relationship with your sponsor (your most important stakeholder), to negotiate a set of smart objectives, to conduct a thorough stakeholder analysis and to write a project communication plan.

Finally, you develop a realistic, feasible, project charter, and get it signed and supported by the sponsor.

This course is project based. After every presentation I recommend you apply the tools to a real project: I provide you with precise directions and templates. Using the tools in practice hugely improve your ability to play the project manager role.

This course is based on a very successful training program that I have developed for one of my best clients, a program still in place after more than 15 years.

I’m absolutely confident that by completing the course and applying its tools to your project, you can become a member of the elite of successful Project Managers.

Become a successful Project Manager!
