Human Resource Project Management

Overview

6 PDUs

In this workshop, you will learn about the secret to project success: the human side. We will cover both the process (project HR plan) and creating an environment where people are productive. Our focus will be on transforming a group into a high-performing team, and the tools and techniques needed to do so.  We will identify project team warning signs that need attention, and then diagnose how to address these situations and resolve matters that have a negative impact on performance.

Expect to walk away with the ability to effectively use both well and lesser-known project HR tools and techniques.  We will explore over two dozen of them.
