Managing the Interpersonal Side of
Project Management
|
There is a growing need for employees who can manage projects effectively while they continue to perform in their existing job functions.
Project management requires good organizational skills: a methodical approach to planning, implementing and monitoring multiple activities.
But effective project management – particularly for those who have regular job responsibilities as well - also requires the ability to establish strong working relationships with project sponsors, team members and stake-holders.
During the life-cycle of any project priorities change, resources may dwindle, schedules slip and expectations lose focus. These realities can strain relationships, confuse issues and create conflict. Strong relationships are paramount to a project’s success.
