Lead work projects from beginning to end . . . and make human performance technology happen Copublished with the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI) Project teams are growing rapidly as performance improvement solutions become more complex. Project management methods are becoming necessary to successfully coordinate these large teams. Develop the skills you need to effectively manage your budget, time, and the quality of work on human performance technology projects. All the essential aspects of project development are addressed, and the process is broken down into three main areas: preparing, planning, and implementing. You'll develop the skills to:

• Define projects
• Accelerate project development
• Obtain sponsorship
• Act as a consultant
• Plan infrastructures
• Create work breakdown structures
• Identify depAndency relationships
• Manage resources and optimize the plans
• Analyze risks and plan for contingencies
• Estimate schedules . . . and more

Learn what needs to be done after you finish a project to ensure success. Don't just squeak by with mediocre management. Mediocre management can stifle the development of great ideas. Ideas will get projects started. But you won't achieve superior results without effective management. Implement Fuller's project management process today and get results
