Project Management
Project Sponsorship
A 1-day workshop to ensure project sponsors have a clear understanding of the sponsorship roles and activities. This understanding will enable the sponsor to select and apply the appropriate activities best suited to the project and team members involved.
The sponsor is critical to the success of a project. A good sponsor can save a weak project manager and make a good project manager shine. A poor or misinformed sponsor can cause serious damage to the project. Learn the strategies and techniques that will improve your sponsorship role and increase the probability of project success.
This is not a project management workshop. Some project management topics are necessarily involved and some are provided for reference where sponsorship and project leadership interact.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is for anyone in management who has accountability for one or more projects in the organization. The title may vary from project sponsor to project champion, project executive, or program manager.
