Increase Your Intellect

Project management is not just for project managers. In many cases a company is unbalanced, the trained start executing projects from a different perspective than the rest of the team. This in turn creates frustration, friction and ultimately failure among a project team. Project Managers will try to follow a plan, track costs, manage scope or follow a method, only to come to a halt in progress or receive resistance from the rest of the company. Due to this snag the project will suffer but to help prevent this from happening it is essential to have everyone who is a part of the project be sufficiently trained. It also helps that managers involved in the project be fully supportive of the program as well. It may be necessary to draft a proposal for upper management to see the extra training is critical and worth the cost.

Before deciding who needs to be trained it is important to understand the roles in your project team. Most teams will consist of eight roles: Client, Sponsor, Manager, Coordinator, Functional, Business Team Leader, Financial Team Leader, and Workers. What training is necessary is based upon the judgment of the organization. An example what most would do is; establish a single project and program management curriculum to provide the educational foundation needed. Next, set up a project management program designed to develop an educational foundation for individual business units to help better overall performance. The program should provide all employees with knowledge about project management standards supporting the company business goals, including project management principles and methodology. Training will get everyone moving in the same direction, establish project management principles into the company’s culture, boost your company’s intellectual capital, improve morale of the project team and project delivery records, as well as make your clients happier.
