Training Project Management

Project Management

Workshop on How to Plan a Project Properly and Avoid Burnout

At the start, every project feels like pure magic. We plan tasks, estimate costs, set timelines, occasionally assess risks—and it seems like success is in the bag!

But when it comes to execution, countless small tasks emerge that need to be tracked and managed. This leads to rework, missed deadlines, and frustration.

This workshop will help you plan, launch, and execute a project from scratch—without chaos or illusions. Just a clear plan and an objective assessment of results.

Is This Workshop for You?

Aspiring Project Managers

Future project managers will receive a step-by-step guide on how to plan tasks and ensure the project’s successful execution.

Project Team Members

Project Team Members will gain a clearer understanding of what is expected of them and how to help the team bring the project to completion.

Top Managers and Department Heads

They will be able to establish a system for monitoring and overseeing one or multiple projects simultaneously.

Additionally, they will gain insights into how to effectively supervise a project manager.

We will cover:

On Proper Planning
How to Assess a Project
A project manager is often like someone who believes that nine women can have a baby in one month. In this workshop, we’ll explain how to realistically assess deadlines and calculate the resources needed for successful project completion.

How to Cover All the Details
Every project consists of hundreds of details. We’ll introduce tools that help account for most of them—and manage unexpected challenges that couldn’t be foreseen.

Risks
The optimism bias phenomenon: how to objectively assess risks and manage them. What steps to take from day one to achieve results with minimal costs. And when it’s time to shut down a project despite the resources already invested.

On People
Teamwork
How to properly distribute responsibilities among project participants and set priorities.

Managing Without Authority
What to do if a project manager lacks formal authority over the people involved. How to increase the perceived importance of participation, especially under tight deadlines.

Project Communication
A well-planned format and structure for meetings help the entire team manage their time more effectively. We’ll explain what should happen in kick-off meetings, meetings with stakeholders, how to keep the team informed and what reports to prepare at each stage.

On Results
Project Quality Management Mechanisms
How to work with milestones and evaluate interim results. Which project management methodology best fits your industry and client expectations.

Customer experience management
How to manage client expectations and identify unstated expectations early in the project that weren’t clearly defined at the start.
