Project Management for
Executives PM00.50 |
Project management
training is usually targeted to project managers and other senior
project professionals. But what about company executives? The
project sponsor and other senior managers need some knowledge of
formal project management as well - for two reasons. First, managers
must understand the terminology and concepts that the rest of the
staff is learning so that they can communicate intelligently.
Second, managers must understand the role they play in ensuring that
the project management processes are implemented successfully in
their organizations. It’s not just about project managers. All of
the management hierarchy has a role to play in ensuring their
organizations successfully implement the project management
discipline.
Do your senior managers need to attend five days of training to get
the proper level of understanding? No, they don’t need that level of
detail. This class provides this high-level overview of project
management concepts and the role of management in a fast-paced ½ day
session.
