Project Management is more than being a taskmaster and tracking data. Leading a team and managing client engagements requires a great deal of organization and planning. Some team members are naturally organized, but how many have learned the skills to manage projects? Successfully launching a new technology, onboarding clients, developing a new service... all takes more than a checklist of to-do items. You need to monitor risks and opportunities. You need to gain buy-in to drive adoption. Proper scoping and projections help keep projects on course, and not become a costly experiment that got shoved to the back burner. Project managers are trained in analyzing the data while also managing people. In this session you will learn how to incorporate project management basics and some best practices into your team and organization.
