PROJECT MANAGEMENT SKILLS
This workshop is for those who want to use Project Management to accomplish their goals, in IEEE, at work, home, or in the community. You will learn basic project management techniques, and how to apply them in real life! This workshop is highly interactive with several exercises.

In this workshop you will learn about the basic success factors of project, to create a vision, boil it down and express the vision into a project plan and a preliminary budget. We will define the characteristics of a good Project Manager, where to find this person and how to gather a good, strong project team of dedicated members. During the project the Project Manager needs to create trust and delegate work, check performance according to the goals, prepare and run meetings and report to the project sponsors, as well as to the project members. Risk assessment and risk management is essential in managing projects. If things go terribly wrong, how to handle the situation? When the project is finished, how do we recover the knowledge we have gained? Project evaluations are important and save time and money in future projects.
