Project management has reached the point where it as accepted as vital to business performance and organizational success. Over the next ten years the size of the project management community is expected to grow rapidly. However, over the same period experienced workers will start retiring in greater numbers, as the Baby Boomer generation reaches retirement age.
That leaves organizations with four huge challenges. Firstly, the need to find people to fill all of these project management vacancies. Secondly, the need to equip people with the skills that they require to deliver the projects of the future. Thirdly, the need to improve project success rates, which are still too low. Lastly, the need to do this all this without affecting the smooth operation of the existing business.
The Project Planning Workshop Handbook was created especially to help organizations overcome traditional planning problems including lack of a clear goal, fragmented planning and the lack of compliance with organizational standards. The method produces consistent results time after time and builds up project management skills and confidence.
The handbook is divided into three parts. Part one of the handbook outlines the key project management trends that are going to impact your organization over the next decade. Part two of the handbook explains step by step how to organize and run a project kickoff workshop using the Index card Planning Method. Each step is explained in detail and the handbook includes templates and checklists to speed up the process. Part three of the handbook explains how you can convert the results of the workshop into project artifacts quickly, so that the project gets off to a flying start.
