Research conducted over many decades has found that projects will only succeed with the involvement of executives, and with the engagement and support of other important stakeholders.

Project managers must understand who their stakeholders are and who is important, and work to build and maintain robust relationships with these stakeholders through effective communication.

This presentation will focus on practical ways that project managers can apply to build these relationships and engage their stakeholders for the benefit of the project.

  • How can the growing trend in Lean and Agile be embraced?
  • How can the essential collaboration be achieved through use of digital technologies?

Collaboration challenges some of the well-established management techniques; what this will mean for the project manager, as far as managing the behavior of project members goes, is vital.

Following on from the recent, well-attended webinar “Kanban vs Gantt”, Paul Bamforth (LinkedIn profile) of Projectplace returns to address this closely related topic.

Gantt charts are well known and familiar but what about Kanban boards?

Paul will explain why Projectplace see Kanban boards as the next big collaboration trend; ideal for Lean and Agile approaches.

The techniques for success will be explained in this presentation as well as addressing the reasons why this working method is spreading so fast.

Presenter:  Paul Bamforth is the Country Manager for Projectplace in the UK. With over 20 years’ experience in technology companies Paul has overseen success and growth of a number of small/medium sized organizations.  Paul has supported their existing UK client base as well as growing the organisation and increasing Projectplace’s European presence.
