Description
What makes a project successful? For decades, our profession has focused heavily on whether projects were delivered on time, on budget and within scope. Those measures still matter but they are no longer enough. PMI research shows that project success is ultimately about whether the value delivered was worth the effort and expense, and identifies four behaviors that dramatically increase the likelihood of achieving it. In this webinar, Lenka Pincot will explore PMI’s M.O.R.E. vision for the profession: Manage perceptions, Own success, Relentlessly reassess and Expand perspective.
Drawing on PMI research and practical examples, we will examine why only a small proportion of project professionals consistently apply all four practices, why doing so makes such a significant difference to project outcomes, and what project professionals can do differently to become active owners of project success beyond being managers of project delivery.
Learning Objectives
Participants will gain insights into the:
- Rethink what project success means today
- Learn how to apply the four M.O.R.E. elements that drive more successful projects and understand why they matter throughout the project lifecycle
- Identify practical actions project professionals can take to influence project success
