Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the Basic Elements/Principles of Project Management.
2. Identify Select "Best Practices" for Use by Training and Development Professionals.
3. Discuss an Example Project Management Scenario to Reinforce Concepts.
Project meetings can be intimidating for those members of an organization who do not possess any previous experience with Project Management. Project Managers seem to speak a language all their own, and the management tools they use can be confusing. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Project Management is merely a way to organize a task into logically arranged elements in order to accomplish a goal. The purpose of this presentation is to take some of the mystery out of the process and to introduce the audience to some of the basic concepts and practices used when planning and executing a project. The focus will be on those concepts most likely to be used by Training and Development Professionals in the context of project planning and execution.
