Presentation Overview:
One of the most important responsibilities project managers have is communication. Good project managers spend 90% of their time communicating. In order to keep projects or engagements funded, successful PMs must continually “market” the positive benefits and achievements of projects – even if approved. As the primary project ambassador and evangelist, the Project Manager must never take the sponsor’s good will for granted. It becomes imperative to maintain the passion and enthusiasm for the goals and objectives of the project through constant impactful communication.
Most people think of communication in terms of status reports and presentations. Effective project managers learn to turn routine status meetings into opportunities to market the project’s progress. This presentation will reveal tips on how to elevate communication plans to public relations campaigns.
