How do you get everyone in the organization moving together toward business goals? How do you focus people toward performance? The answer lies in performance management, a systematic approach that aligns employee behavior with organizational strategies.

Learning objectives include:

  • Write targeted performance goals
  • Diagnose and correct performance issues

Risks exist on projects because by definition, projects possess uncertainty. Organizations that ignore risks experience reduced project success rates due to the wasted effort and delays that result from dealing with issues.

Risk management methodologies address this challenge but tend to be too theoretical or require significant process discipline or historical data to be practical.

During this webinar you will learn practical, lightweight best practices for managing risks throughout a project’s lifecycle.

Benefits of managing risks through this approach include:

  • Improved project predictability
  • Improved ROI for your overall portfolio
  • Quantification of cost & schedule contingencies
  • Reduced effort spent resolving project issues

Managers/Directors of PMOs, Project Managers
