Handling Difficult Project Situations

All projects run into difficulties and some troubling situations can be very challenging for the project team to address. Issues with sponsors, clients, subcontractors, management and other stakeholders related to requirements, funding, resources, scope changes and other factors can arise, adding stress and turmoil to any effort. Learn what the common project challenges are and what the PM and team can do to handle these situations effectively. Also learn how to lessen the probability that these troubling situations will surface on your projects. The content of this seminar is the experiences of the speaker in over 40 years of experience in working with 100s of projects that have faced difficult situations.

The attendee will learn:

• What are Common Difficult Situations Projects Face

• What to Do If These Challenges Arise

• How To Avoid These Difficulties Before They Surface
