Presentation Details:
Imagine you are one of the architects in charge of building the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Nowadays, PMs are confronted with a myriad of challenges. PMs have to communicate with different types of stakeholders. Now consider five thousand years ago in Egypt. How would you communicate with the Pharaoh? How would you communicate with the other stakeholders? Such a situation would require an entirely different strategy with different dynamics for each channel of communication. In formulating your communication strategy with the Pharaoh, you would have to know the proper protocol to address royalty in Egypt and the proper language to use. In the same manner, when communicating with upper management, you must be aware of the organization’s protocols, culture, and proper language to use when communicating with executives. Please keep in mind, that this is not an attempt to rewrite history, but a real exercise on the practical application of Project Management Best Practices, PMBOK, common sense, and a lot of passion and dedication to the PM craft. Specific PM topics covered will be: communications, Implications of Project Management on project success, Scope Control, Scope Change, Change Management, and Scope Definition.
