Don't let your projects get the best of you! In this workshop, gain the know-how to lead projects to successful outcomes. Participants will learn to implement a process for planning and completing any project, using a practical, hands-on approach. Discuss both technical and human roles and responsibilities of a project manager, including managing the human dynamics of the team and stakeholders. A communication-style assessment guides project managers to an understanding of the power of an adaptable style. Participants will be able to explain how to affect change and influence others as projects evolve.

Participants will take part in a case study and complete an analysis of another project manager's work.
