Social media is a powerful tool to help improve the quality of project management in our organizations, but how many of us take full advantage of the opportunity?
With social media, you have less control than with traditional “broadcast” style media tools. That’s the downside. The upside: more conversation! That means greater opportunities to engage your stakeholders in a meaningful way.
If you are looking to use social media platforms as a way to sell your organization and its products and services, you will need to consider which ones would be good matches for your industry—and the best ones to use to pass your messages around.
Dependencies are a fundamental part of project planning, but not many people get it right. Here’s a primer on how it should work.
The use of social media within projects can substantially help your team building as well as communication with both your onsite and remote teams. What do you need to be aware of?
Every project has an ample amount of data. It’s at a PM’s discretion to use it effectively. Do statistics and data analytics scare you? In this article, the author shows how very simple statistical concepts can be applied in project situations—and how PMs can make effective decisions based on that.
In this webinar, we will discuss how mediation, an alternative dispute-resolution technique, can defuse tensions to make for a more productive work place. Using mediation skills instead of imposing a decision, you will be able to apply communication skills, objectivity, and creativity to help disputants reach their own voluntary solution to the conflict.

A PMI-funded research study identified how project staff use their knowledge networks to build project capabilities, and how knowledge is transferred, translated and managed in these networks. We also explored the role of networks in providing mutual support for 'members' and as a coordination mechanism for the project. The outcomes of the study will help project staff, and their organizations, to understand practical network design strategies and behaviors to transfer and manage knowledge across and within different project environments.
This is in the eighth (and final) installment in an 8-part webinar series, A Billion Dollar Project Health Framework, presented by Uri Galimidi. The series covers an advanced yet practical framework which Project Managers can use to assess the health of their projects. The framework consists of eight key project management areas. This webinar covers Methodology & Tools.
We stand on the verge of the 20th anniversary of a curious date: one where, for many reasons, the world didn't end. Y2K was a global project of immense proportions, as organizations literally raced against the clock to prevent their information systems from failing as the rest of the world celebrated the dawn of the new millennium. For the most part, they kept going. This webinar takes a retrospective view of the Y2K project, one of the largest coordinated systems efforts that the world has yet seen; it offers an alternative perspective and far more insight into the management underpinnings of how to manage an effort that was complex, diffuse and world-wide. Join Peter de Jager for a look back at a global incident that monopolized the activities of nearly all IT departments through the 1990s. He'll explore what we've learned, what we still have to figure out, and what we are perilously close to once again forgetting.
This webinar explores what social media can do, what we can do in social media and where we might want to think about drawing the line.
We all manage critical projects for our stakeholders and help organizations succeed in their strategic initiatives. During this project management journey, we often come across situations that require us to effectively use our negotiation skills to resolve conflicting situations. In this webinar, the presenter will highlight the importance of negotiation, key concepts, and share some tips on improving your negotiation skills.
