Project Management for Information Managers Wed. 6 Jul 2011 – Fri. 8 Jul 2011 in Ottawa  –  Only 2 spots left!

3 days (18 hours) – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Instructor: Jane Neath

Fee: $625.00

Cert: IM or stand-alone

In the changing world of the information professional, the ability to effectively and efficiently manage projects is an essential skill. Project Management software can help, but knowledge of the fundamentals of the planning, estimating, monitoring and reporting tools, what they are and how to apply them, is essential.

In team-based project-oriented environments, more critical than knowing how to use tools, is knowing how to lead project teams over whom the project manager has no formal authority or control. Knowing one’s own management style, how to read others’ and adapt one’s behaviour to the needs of others in different stages of team development are valued yet often underdeveloped competencies for today’s information and technology professionals.

In this 3-day workshop, team leaders and managers apply proven project management techniques to an actual project. You leave the workshop with a project plan and pragmatic information that will be immediately, readily and easily applicable to your job.

“Jane is very knowledgeable which made her use of examples more relevant. Excellent job!”

“Gave me good ideas of adding IM requirements to new projects.”
