Practical Project Management

Guest  

Charlette Wynn,  the CEO of P3 Delivery, is our guest and we will learn about how and why Charlette has created a one-day project management course which is designed for the “Non-Project” Manager who is always tasked with project activities but have never received formal training.

Discussion

Specifically, we discuss the following with Charlette in this episode:

  1. (1:12) Give us a little background, why did you feel it was important to create training for those that are assigned projects in addition to their other duties?
  2. (2:21) What topics do you cover in the training?
  3. (3:28) I’ve prepared a presentation on why project’s fail that I’ve been asked to deliver many times and one of the key reasons that project’s fail is that many stakeholders in projects have little to no understanding of the art or science of Project Management?  Is one day enough to teach the basics of Project Management?  Or are you trying to whet their whistle so to speak to begin to know what they don’t know?
  4. (6:21) What has the response been like so far?  Are you getting lots of interest?
  5. (7:26) I know that you recently had a class in Washington, DC and one in Atlanta.  Do you have any future classes planned?  What if somebody wanted you to do the class at their location?

Rapid Fire Round  

We ask these same questions to all of our guests.

  • (9:17) What is the single best piece of project management advice you’ve ever received?
  • (9:46) How many times per year do you refer to the PMBOK?
  • (10:51) What is your most valuable project management resource?
