A PMI Lakeshore Chapter Professional Development Event
Getting Work Done: The Human Side of Project Management
Four PDUs can be claimed by certified PMPs for attending this presentation.
Presentation Abstract
This workshop addresses KSFs for building, developing, motivating and sustaining high performance teams in project environments. It includes a team building model based on Purpose, Structure, Process, Culture and Influence along with checklists, metrics and “Golden Rules” for assessing and enhancing maturity of teamwork and effectiveness in organizations.
Creating successful teams requires conscious and deliberate investment of time and effort. Teams are built around four basic principles that recognize the importance of Team Structure, Team Process, Team Culture and Team Influence. Structure provides leadership and organization. Process provides discipline and predictability for team interaction. Culture builds the foundation for a team’s norms and values for successful interdependence and relationships. Influence helps the team to leverage internal and external politics in a constructive way to drive the project to a successful outcome.
Finally, successful teams embrace a common purpose, and develop and follow a set of common processes based on a set of values and culture. The Project Manager’s role in team building is to guide, coach, mentor, facilitate and direct as required to achieve the intended project outcome. The success and survival of project teams depends on understanding the human side of Project Management
