 A Step-by-Step Guide to Project Management, Second Edition by Michael Greer Like its predecessor, The Project Manager's Partner Second Edition draws its inspiration from The Project Management Institute's Guide to PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), seeking to provide specific how-to-do-it tips for achieving many of the PM practices identified in PMBOK. Organized around 20 Key Project Manager Actions and Results, the lion's share of the book is devoted to providing new project managers with the tools to take any of these actions and get quality results. Compared to the original Project Manager's Partner, the second edition has a completely restructured introduction to project management (PM) basics, presenting the reader with just enough background on the field of PM to provide a foundation for using the tools. Part I concludes by providing readers with a hands-on assignment designed to help them develop a unique Project Life Cycle as the foundation for a project they may be planning. Building on this unique life cycle, Part II provides another assignment which encourages readers to identify which of the Key Project Manager Action Items in Part III they will need to start planning their projects so the emphasis on hands-on performance begins early! This edition also includes an entirely new discussion (with a samples and worksheets) on the distinction between estimating effort versus estimating durations for activities. Finally, the author has drawn on his recent experiences implementing the Partner in training and consulting engagements to create many powerful new PM tools (guidelines, checklists, worksheets). In addition to all of the tools and examples found in the original Partner, this second edition contains 25 new items, bringing the new Partner total number of tools to support project management to 57! The Project Manager's Partner is designed so that it can "stand alone" and be of immediate value to novice project managers. The tools may be used out-of-sequence, so project managers need not read through the entire book to apply a tool. For example, if you are involved in developing a schedule, you may simply turn to the tool which deals with developing a schedule and get right to work.

 Ensure Problems Get and Stay Solved It sometimes seems that there is a never-ending stream of problems to solve in business. Ironically, many are not new. They are recurring problems that never seem to go away. Step-By-Step Problem Solving shows participants how to get at the underlying causes of these problems and not just the symptoms so they get solved and stay solved. Skill-Based Program Content

 Maximizing The Effectiveness Of Your Meetings A poorly planned meeting often results in unclear goals and objectives which inevitably lead to other timeconsuming, non-productive meetings down the road. In contrast, a well-conducted meeting, which uses proven procedures and tools, actually increases productivity, encourages team involvement, and builds commitment to group decisions. Meetings That Work! provides practical examples and proven methods on the three essential stages of preparing, conducting, and evaluating meetings, and for building team success.

 Studies show that organizations that use performance measures effectively achieve superior business results. With the "right" measures, you can more easily see and treat performance problems and reinforce business outcomes for customers, employees, and other stakeholders. Following a six-phase Performance Scorecard model, your managers, supervisors, and leaders can develop and deploy critical performance measures, establishing a clear "line of sight" between the strategic goals of their senior managers and the tactical goals of their workgroups. Integrating on-the-job application with training, our hands-on Line Of Sight (LOS) program enables them to draft a functional Performance Scorecard for their workgroup that includes a Scorecard Summary, a Scorecard Glossary, and a Scorecard Report. They then develop an action plan for finalizing and implementing their scorecard within their organization. Facilitator Kit Includes:

Everyone has to manage projects, but not everyone knows how to do it well. Bad management skills can be a costly drain on time and money, causing frustration and stress for everyone concerned. This programme provides a complete solution to the issues, exploring the techniques for project team leaders to better manage their project team, and so meet the project's objectives. In the DVD a manager is organising an office move, but she's made some common mistakes. She has failed to define the objectives of the project properly, her team's responsibilities are not agreed and the project is in danger of failing. Fortunately she is shown the right way to do things. She has a special program on her PC which provides invaluable advice to her - and to the programme's viewers - and helps her learn the key stages of project management. With the right project technique and by following appropriate people management skills, the move is achieved on time and on budget. The manager enjoys greater job satisfaction from her accomplishment, and her team is more motivated, happy and committed to her and the business.
 Government Version Also Available Getting it all done these days isn't easy. While most of us have more job responsibilities than ever, we also have tighter deadlines. So what s the answer? DELEGATING. It's a concept many people find absolutely frightening, and with good reason. Letting go of important projects or taking on someone else's project is scary, especially if you ve been burned before. But if it's done effectively, delegating can greatly improve productivity. Through a series of vignettes (including several humorous "fantasy" sequences that depict people's deepest fears about delegating), this training program teaches an important lesson. It shows that successful delegation requires trust - on the part of both the delegator and the delegatee - and detailed information sharing from start to finish. As better delegators, employees will accomplish more in less time, improve their communication and management skills, and help your organization reach new heights of excellence. This video will become one of your most-used training tools - perfect for new hires as well as seasoned employees. Participants will learn the six steps to delegation success:
