Details for "Project Management for Learning and Performance Professionals"

We’ve all been there, your learning and performance project has gone awry despite your best intentions.  Sometimes it’s due to an unrealistic schedule, or worse yet, an unreasonable customer (manager, stakeholder, etc.). A successful learning and performance professional avoids these pitfalls by successfully managing their project.

Whether it is providing direction for a highly complex online learning initiative, designing learning modules, or facilitating a course, learning and performance professionals must plan, organize, and manage resources. This program will assist you by offering a context for project management within your interventions as well as information on how to deal with the two most common issues that arise in managing a project: unrealistic schedules and unreasonable demands

Objectives

·         Define project management within the context of a learning and performance intervention

·         Describe an unreasonable schedule or customer

·         Identify three solutions for dealing with an unreasonable schedule or customer

Speaker Ken Jones, PMP

Ken Jones has spent 25 years in the semiconductor industry managing projects in new product development, manufacturing and marketing. He is currently at Freescale Semiconductor, where he manages a team of globally distributed project managers responsible for the development and launch of new products. In this role and industry he has had the good fortune to work with countless unreasonable internal and external customers and helped teams work on countless unrealistic deadlines. He is now able to share what he and his peers have learned from these experiences.

Ken teaches in the Project management Professional (PMP) training course offered by St. Edwards University and the Austin chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI) and is now the lead curriculum developer. He has an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin and an MSEE from the University of Central Florida. He was a technical reviewer for Head First PMP, A Brain Friendly Guide to Passing the Project Management Professional Examination, 2nd Edition published by O’Reilly 2009.
