How to be Awesome at Getting Things Done
Whether you’re planning an event or taking responsibility for getting tasks done, you’ll definitely have projects as part of your work – and you may even be leading some.
In this introduction to managing projects training session, I will help you understand what a project is and how to balance the competing demands of time, cost and doing a good job in getting your work successfully over the line.
We’ll look at ways to stay organized, break down the work and how to prioritize your growing To Do list. And we’ll talk about managing expectations of the rest of the team and keeping them involved throughout.
You’ll leave with plenty of practical tips for managing your work, and a template you can use to get any project off to a fantastic start.
