Project Planning: From Preconstruction to Closeout
This session will examine the value and positive impact of a well-planned project and explore the different types of plans that could be developed. Planning does not end when the project starts and we will discuss how to lead planning from the beginning of the project all the way until the customer accepts the finished project.
Project Leadership: How Leadership Differs from Management
Project managers are also project leaders. We will explore both management and leadership behaviors and explain how they are different. We will discuss what effective leadership looks like and how to lead more effectively.
