Project Management Basics: A Hands-on Workshop for

Today's "Instant" Project Managers

What's Different about the Session

It's CUSTOMIZED -- Our up-front planning session with your senior management
team lets us build in your organization's issues, processes, and concerns!
It's IMMEDIATELY USEFUL -- Attendees are invited to bring their own project
concepts and work in teams to develop "high resolution" project plans to take back
to the job!
It RESPECTS THE WAY YOU DO PROJECTS -- "First do no harm" is the
approach... we build on what you are doing well and gently overlay "best
practices" to help you develop more disciplined, effective PM approaches. Unlike
many consultants, we do NOT try to impose a particular project life cycle, set of
project steps, or one-size fits all PM methodology!
It has a TRACK RECORD of success in many different industries -- For more than
20 years we've been getting great results with clients whose project teams were
struggling to produce web sites, software products, financial products, blood
products, native-driven ecotourism businesses, computer systems, security
systems, deep space rDesearch, printing systems, medical products and services,
baggage expediting systems, and much more! (See client list.)

etailed Description
Project Management Basics is a two-day workshop developed and presented Why
You Need This Workshop
Today, organizations are becoming more lean, trimming layers of middle
managers and requiring specialists from marketing, engineering,
accounting, and other departments to work together in ad-hoc project
teams. Having no full-time, dedicated managers, these teams are often led
by one of these specialists who may excel at his or her specialty, but does
not necessarily have management experience. Typically, such team
leaders must simultaneously make project contributions in their specialty
while they try to manage the project.
These "instant" project managers need help defining the project; initiating,
planning, executing, and controlling project events; and figuring out how to
bring project events to a timely conclusion. And they can't stop working for
the many weeks it would take to acquire extensive management training.
This fast-paced, hands-on workshop is specially designed to meet the
"instant" project manager's needs. It provides:
Basic project management (PM) principles and terms, reinforced with a
self-check quiz
An easy-to-use set of tools (The Project Manager's Partner) to help new
managers, step-by-step, plan and implement their projects
Hands-on experience using these tools to plan a case study project or
(optionally) an actual project as assigned by your organization
The opportunity for participants to create tangible PM work products which
are immediately usable to support their projects
Who Should Attend
Project managers who want specific tools and a proven strategy for
planning and managing projects
Task specialists from any department who want to contribute more
effectively as project team members
Supervisors of project managers who want to help their organizations
develop a consistent, proven method for planning and managing projects
What You Can Expect
This is an intensive, hands-on session to help you develop basic project
management background knowledge and specific project planning skills.
By using case study situations or one of your organization's preliminary
project concepts, you will apply reference tools to define specific project
activities by using a work breakdown structure (WBS), sequence those
activities in the form of a network diagram, create a schedule and cost
estimate, and detailed project budgets. You will also learn how to build a
budget and spending plan, create a formal project communications plan,
get organized to acquire staff, and identify potential risks to the project
plan, along with ways of minimizing these risks.
Workshop Objectives
Day 1
You will learn to:
Describe the origins of the field of project management and the role of
today's part-time project manager.
Define basic project management terms.
Distinguish projects from ongoing operations and programs.
Explain how different organization structures can support or impede PM
efforts.
Describe some of the socioeconomic influences that affect projects.
Explain the benefits of organizing project activities into phases.
Describe the Generic Project Life Cycle.
List the five project management processes and explain the activities
associated with each.
Explain how we might improve our current project management processes.
Explain the relationship between the five project management processes
and the project life cycle.
Describe how The Project Manager's Partner is organized and how it
supports key project manager actions.
Describe how project managers in your organization typically demonstrate
project need and feasibility and obtain project authorization.
Given a case study project or one of your organization's preliminary project
concepts, you will use this input to:
Describe project scope.
Define and sequence project activities.
Estimate durations for activities and resources required.
Day 2
Continue working on the case study project or your organization's
preliminary project concept and:
Estimate durations for activities and resources required.
Develop a project schedule.
Estimate costs.
Build a budget and spending plan.
Describe elements of a good project communications plan.
Organize to acquire staff.
Identify risks and plan to respond.
Organize a comprehensive project plan including all of the preceding
planning outputs.
(Optional Customization Session)
Create your own, organization-specific PM processes to implement
following the workshop:
Teams critically evaluate the generic PM processes and project life cycle,
then compare these to their current practices.
Teams synthesize a unique, team-specific PM life cycle (PM model) and
processes.
Teams create post-workshop To-Do lists to guide follow-up activities.
6 Reasons to Consider this Session for Your Entire Organization
Your organization's project management practices can be transformed
overnight as everyone in your group learns to use the same tools and
techniques at the same time.
Our up-front consulting can custom-tailor the workshop to help your
organization meet specific challenges.
Group participation in the "neutral territory" of the classroom can allow
important management issues to be discussed and resolved.
 Everyone in your group can develop a new set of project management
values resulting in everyone "singing from the same songbook."
An on-site workshop can eliminate the time and expense of travel.
Your supervisors, project sponsors, and key contributors (SMEs, media
people, etc.) will enjoy seeing a "single face" as your organization
begins to use a consistent set of management practices and
terminology.
How Will You Benefit?
You can immediately use the tools and techniques from this workshop to
begin planning your next projects.
You will learn to more accurately estimate project scope by using detailed
guidelines and worksheets.
You will learn by doing -- by working on case-study exercises and pair
practice activities.
You will discover how to identify critical project team members and
determine their specific roles and responsibilities. Project Closeout Process

Training Approach
The training uses practical exercises that take individuals outside their comfort
zones. By giving the participants help and guidance during the process, confidence
and skills are strengthened. We make the sessions challenging and practical
through the use of role-play, experiential learning and group exercises. Participants
will quickly discover their strengths and weaknesses in communicating with
others. Moreover, this interaction makes classes enjoyable and motivational.
The tempo of the training is light-hearted and fast-paced. Our experience suggests
that this makes people actually look forward to attending our training sessions and
reinforces the motivational effects. Peer group pressure, structure and relaxed
atmosphere are the key elements to the success of our courses.
Methodology
Presentation, case studies, and hands-on activities.
 Who Can Benefit
Those who are directly involved in planning, estimating, scheduling, monitoring
(tracking), and measuring, and reporting the implementation progress of projects.
Examples, case studies and templates are provided.

CLIMATE CHANGE

At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland,

participants in one session chose climate change as the issues that will have the
greatest impact in the coming years, and the one that the world is least ready for.
"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges that we face," said Ged Davis,
Managing Director, World Economic Forum. "We need to bring governments and
non-state actors together to offer innovative solutions."
As Disaster Management professionals what can we do? What are the economic
effects? What type of planning should we be doing? What can we do, if anything,
to influence politicians and business leaders?

Michael Greer has many years experience as a project m

RESILIENCY
Resiliency is the capacity for individuals, communities and
business to be able to adopt and continuously evolve to the
challenges we face in our rapidly changing society.

The 18th WCDM will explore individual, community and

business resiliency as well as how the three exist as one. Our
speakers will take the “complexity” out of understanding
how resiliency plays an integral part of their operations.

PANDEMIC PLANNING

The threat of a pandemic is no longer the media darling,

but we in the profession know it is still a major threat. With a recent outbreak of
H5N1 strain of avian flu among poultry in England and continuing human deaths
in Indonesia it is still an issue to be dealt with.

According to World Health Organization data, of the 113 cases of H5N1

confirmed to date in Indonesia, 91 have been fatal. In 2007 alone, there have been
72 confirmed human cases of Avian Influenza worldwide.

From Pandemic 101 to a more advanced approach to pandemic planning, the 18th
WCDM will cover it all.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS
Take time to visit the poster presentations. During the
conference, presenters will be located at their posters at
predetermined times from Monday to Wednesday.

This will give you an excellent opportunity to review their

work and network one-on-one with these presenters.
GLOBAL
PERSPECTIVE
Where else in North America can you get such an
international perspective to the Disaster Management
scene? With presenters, exhibitors and delegates from
more than 40 countries, the 18th WCDM will provide a
unique opportunity for you to network and learn from
some of the best practitioners in the world.

This is your chance to break out of the box, and be

exposed to the thoughts and practices of our friends from
Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the far east,
the middle east, and more.
