Project Management for the Masses; Driving an Enterprise Wide Discipline

With project management gaining more & more traction, organizations are looking for ways to incorporate technology to help support the discipline. Whether you are a project management guru or a novice, you can benefit from adding structure to your projects. We recently hosted a virtual roundtable with five project management experts that are spreading the word.

In this virtual seminar, a panel of project experts discussed how they are shifting their institutions to a projected-centered model. Some key areas addressed include: removing the vernacular to make it more digestible, using more simplistic models to start and having key check-in points with project gurus.

Play this virtual roundtable at your next desk lunch for a look at what is possible.

In one study, 52 percent of large government IT projects went over budget, were behind schedule or didn’t meet expectations; 41.4 percent were abandoned or had to be restarted. This white paper produced by outlines the need to have a strong project management discipline with different approaches and support tools for different types of projects & departments.
