You will learn how to:
- Gain improved understanding of the project’s mission

Clarity of purpose is not only the key ingredient necessary for successful corporations and sports teams, it’s also what gives projects a firm, stable foundation upon which subsequent project knowledge, tools and techniques are built. A perfectly executed project is still a failure if it went in the wrong direction. Projects must have “line of sight” to some mission. Successful companies and organizations have it and so must you.
Suddenly all work is project work and the ratio of functional-to-project related duties seems to have done a flip-flop. As the percentage of project related work reaches nearly 80% for even “non-project” oriented associates, the need for a guiding process by which to “do more with less” has never been greater. The use of a formal and sound project methodology provides our teams with a road map and enables quicker ramp-up time, more accurate estimates regarding cost and duration and greater fulfillment of project goals.
As change agents we must lead as well as manage our projects. This requires a unique balance of skill, the right tools and an ability to develop relationships through knowledge and communication. Successful projects typically have teams motivated by ownership and a sense of contribution. Every team member can be a leader with the right knowledge and tools.
