Project Management Training

Hi team,
Earlier this week, I had the chance to participate in a VISTA Leader webinar training on Project Management. Even though this training was given via webex, the facilitator made it very interesting and interactive. Here are some of the highlights:
  • Project Management can be thought of as process facilitation -- You need to ask the right questions from the right people to help the process run smoothly and accomplish your task
  • The facilitator talked about 3 key stages of a project process: 1) Need Identification, approach and selection; 2) Planning and Implementation; 3) Process monitoring, Improvement and Evaluation.
  • During each stage you want to be talking with and asking questions of yourself, your supervisor, the beneficiaries of the project, and people/groups collaborating with you.
  • Clearly defining and communicating your strategy will help the collaborators and beneficiaries take ownership and accountability for the success -- a key for sustainability!
If you have any questions, let me know!
