Advanced Project Management: Project Management in a Dynamic Environment

Advanced Project Management: Project Management in a Dynamic Environment

1 hr. Online Course

Level: Advanced

Item#: RV-11294

SME: Christian Knutson, P.E., PgMP, PMP

This interactive, online course covers the nine principles that master project managers, and their teams, put into practice managing projects in a dynamic environment. This environment is one experienced by most, if not all, project managers. It’s an environment that holds speed and uncertainty as two of its most relevant characteristics. Both of these characteristics can cause severe stress during project planning and execution, and can lead to project failure if the project manager doesn’t develop the skills, knowledge, and leadership ability demanded in the dynamic environment of today’s projects. Mastering these nine principles will help you develop the inward and outward orientation, the formal and informal procedures, and the high-touch and high-tech communications strategy that you will require to be an effective, master project manager on your dynamic projects.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to: 
  • Recognize the benefits that come from constantly shifting back and forth from one extreme to another in order to deliver speed and solve uncertainty in projects
  • Explain why formal and informal procedures and an inward and outward orientation are mandatory skills for master project managers
  • Describe the two major steps for successful communications for projects in dynamic environments 
  • Identify the nine principles simultaneous project managers use
