The aim
To give those tasked with managing projects the skills to maximize their team's performance.
About the program
Everyone has to manage projects, but not everyone knows how to do it well. Bad management skills can be a costly drain on time and money, causing frustration and stress for everyone concerned. This program provides a complete solution to the issues, exploring the techniques for project team leaders to better manage their project team, and so meet the project's objectives.
In the video a manager is organizing an office move, but she's made some common mistakes. She has failed to define the objectives of the project properly, her team's responsibilities are not agreed and the project is in danger of failing.
Fortunately she is shown the right way to do things. She has a special program on her PC which provides invaluable advice to her - and to the program's viewers - and helps her learn the key stages of project management. With the right project technique and by following appropriate people management skills, the move is achieved on time and on budget.
The manager enjoys greater job satisfaction from her accomplishment, and her team is more motivated, happy and committed to her and the business.
