Most administrative professionals run projects every day, even without the project manager title. This 90-minute project management webinar for administrative professionals gives you the basics to handle projects of any size or complexity with less stress.
You'll follow a simple step-by-step process and see how to use practical documents such as scope statements, communication plans, risk management plans, risk registers and change management plans. The session also covers building a business case, planning with your team, the five stages of team development and running productive team meetings.
You'll also look at common project challenges and how to keep work moving, plus how to socialize an initiative, manage stakeholders and get the decisions and support you need to reach your goals.
