Reinventing Project Management Series: Using the S-Curve to Determine when to Start a Project

Featuring Antonio Nieto Madrid, Spain Chapter +1 - June 4, 2020

Overview

Knowing when to start a project is a key factor in its success. And yet it’s a strategic talent very few companies have developed. If you begin a project too soon, chances are high that the project will miss its deadline — if it doesn’t fail outright. Yet, there is currently no management framework available to help executives or individuals with the vital decision of when the right time has arrived. This webinar is based on my joint HBR article with Whitney Johnson, author of Disrupt Yourself.
