September 2020 - Lunch PM Network – Project Progress by Phase: Masterful Monitoring & Controlling
Even the most entry-level project managers can usually recite the five phases of a project. Unfortunately, we often receive projects that have skipped a phase (or two) or at least did not take advantage of the key benefits of each phase.
We will spend five lunch meetings the individual phases. We will recap the “what should happen,” lament the “what gets missed,” and share best practices and course-correction tips. We hope you can join us for each month – but if not, we hope you will pop in for the phases where you or your teams need the most support!
On September 24,we continue with the4thof our five-part series – “Project Progress by Phase: Masterful Monitoring & Controlling”.
You will receive a link to Zoom 24 hours and 1 hour before the meeting.
