Creating a Project Leadership Culture Based on PMP Best Practices

• Project Managers drive change not just through facilitating projects to on-budget and on-time delivery, they drive change by educating company leadership on what constitutes effective project management.
• Company leadership can hinder the success of a project by failing to do their due diligence prior to project initiation and/or changing
  baseline priorities with regards to project scope, time and cost once a project has launched. It is the project manager’s responsibility to mitigate this risk up-front in a project by educating company leadership on what constitutes a solid project charter and project management plan.
• Project managers hurt their ability to drive change to facilitate effective project management by failing to use basic tools taught in PMP education that if used could help avoid “management creep” into a project.

Presentation Objectives

1. Highlight issues caused by company leadership that hinder a project managers performance and what the project manager should do to avoid these issues.
2. PMP Best Practices that a project manager should use to better educate company leadership on what constitutes effective project management.
