Project Management (Advanced) Learning Lab – Eat Your Career

Program Description: 

Project management is a rich and complex field with a wide variety of frameworks, philosophies and methodologies. Perhaps you’ve heard terms like Scrum, Waterfall, Sprint, Kanban, Lean, Kaizen, and Agile, and wondered what exactly they mean and how they apply to the projects you manage each day. Maybe you’ve explored different PM tools and strategies, but you’re just not sure how to incorporate them into your work as an “unofficial” PM.

If you have experience managing projects, have already done basic PM training, and you’re ready to take your learning to the next level—this workshop is for you! In this Learning Lab, you’ll gain deeper insight into the dynamic world of project management and learn advanced strategies to take your project work to the next level.

In this Learning Lab, participants will learn:

• A high-level overview of the principles and practices of the most popular PM methodologies and how to select which one is right for your project
• Specific tools to coordinate efforts and enhance communication within virtual and hybrid project teams
• How to identify, monitor, manage and minimize risk throughout the project lifecycle
• Strategies for stepping into the leadership role, even without direct authority, and managing the increasingly complex “people side” of projects
• How to get an off-track project back on-track
