Overview

Whether or not "project manager" is in your title, you run projects. This fundamentals session covers the small number of things that actually keep a project on track: a clear goal and scope, a realistic schedule, the right stakeholders, visible risks, and honest status. Practical, tool-agnostic, and ideal for accidental PMs and anyone formalizing their skills.

Why you should Attend

  • A one-page project charter template
  • A simple risk log you’ll actually keep up
  • A status-update format that earns trust

Areas Covered in the Session

  • Scope and success - defining what's in, what’s out, and what "done" means so a project doesn’t drift
  • Realistic schedules - estimating, sequencing, and spotting the critical path
  • Stakeholders - mapping who matters and managing expectations early
  • Risk - identifying, tracking, and responding to problems before they hit
  • Status and communication - updates that build trust instead of hiding bad news

Who Will Benefit

  • New and "Accidental" Project Managers
  • Coordinators
  • Team Leads
  • And Anyone formalizing their PM Skills
