Strategic Project Management
How To Select High-Impact Projects and Deliver Mission-Critical Results
A Two-Day Seminar
Credits: 12 PDUs
A successful project happens because of four distinct components. First, it was the right project. Second, the organization broadly supported it. Third, the project was well-defined and planned. Finally, it was executed well.
The initial selection process determines whether the proposed project deliverable aligns with the organization's vision, profitability and competitiveness. The project execution process reflects the organization wide project management competency…how well it executes all projects in a repeatable, predictable, and sustainable manner. To do this requires the mastery of a full range of project management skills.
