organizational strategic and business plans), definition, planning,
implementation and close-out phases. 

In addition, the workshop focuses on key communication strategies, tools and
techniques for eliciting partner and stakeholder support, how to develop and
use internal and external air cover to manage political, organizational and

and external partners/stakeholders have on project scope, budgets and
schedules.

Project Proposal / Charter Writing 

The best way to effectively communicate project scope, schedule and cost to
project stakeholders (sponsor, clients, suppliers, etc ), mitigate
conflicts, negotiate for additional resources, and manage risk is to is to
write a project proposal / charter, at the front end of the project, that
clearly articulates how the project meets the strategic needs of the
organization, how the project will be governed , the scope to be delivered,
how the project will be organized , who the stakeholders are and how they
will be managed

Using a structured process participants learn and practice the art and
science of writing project proposal / charters that clearly articulate the
basis upon which future project decisions are made . 

Creating a Project Deliverable Breakdown Structure

years ago and that today is the foundation tool for the Project Management
Institutes 9 Project Management Knowledge Areas learn and demonstrate how to
create a project deliverable breakdown structure that graphically
articulates internal and external project deliverables, key interfaces and
risks.

Identifying and Analyzing Project Stakeholders

A critical aspect of project planning is identifying how meeting key partner
/ stakeholders needs and expectations impacts project scope. Learn and
practice how to graphically identify, characterize and assess project
partners and stakeholders. 

Organizing Projects for Success 

Project Managers must understand their organizations business processes.
They must build alliances across levels and functions of organizations
across levels and functions of the organization, stakeholders, support
groups, and with multi- jurisdictional project partners. Participants learn
techniques on how to organize the project to reduce conflict across
organizational silos and get acceptance in and resource commitments from
functional line managers.

schedule and costs by monitoring and evaluating project resources and
contractor performance. Participants learn and demonstrate how to create a
precedence network diagram that will provide the framework for a schedule
and cost baseline that will allow them to track actual vs budget time and
costs as well as identify resource requirements and loading.
