Problem Solving Skills for Projects "Out of Control"
PDUs: 2
INTRODUCTION
|
Project staff continually have to deal with "conditions" out of their control, has little authority and have to deal with "shifting expectations" all the time. This makes the environment for Project Managers very challenging and mostly highly frustrating. This session will focus on some "reactive" and "proactive" actions that are available to project staff to reduce potential project failures. |
- The paradox of accountability – how to get it and how to avoid "losing" it
- How to lock in stakeholder commitment and ensure access to the best information sources
- How to apply the 6 C's to be your "armour and shield" in achieving the project objective
- PriorityWise – the quick and accurate technique of how to find the core issue in any project failure situation
- CauseWise – how to find the technical and root cause of a test phase failing
- Maxfour – how to find the best combinations of four actions to solve a situation with a "home grown" solution
- RiskWise – the best way to uncover "blind spots" and how to avoid them with "likely reasons" thinking
- Project Continuity Analysis – how to safeguard your project against client and vendor attacks
