Many managers are called upon to run project management teams and achieve specific outcomes. But how effective are these teams generally? Is their success assured or more or less hit and miss?

This training session assists project managers with their task of running the team from the people perspective. It takes them through exercises to identify the strengths and development areas of individual team members as well as their own. It emphasizes the importance of team management skills for the project manager before they resort to project management software.

The session is intended for trainers and facilitators to use with existing project managers or those about to take on project management responsibility. You will also need to be familiar with the concepts expressed in the article ‘Running a project team’ by Kate Cobb.

You are provided with notes, exercises and overhead transparencies you can use with groups.

Session time: roughly an hour and a half

Suggested group size: 6-8
