Managing Project Team Dynamics - Kobi Pompan, Israel

Whether people work well in teams or not determines the success of failure of your project. Teamwork and the skilled management of people in a formal or informal group are the key ingredients of successful projects. It is essential that managers have a sound understanding of team dynamics, both on departmental level and across functionally, where many conflicts often remain unresolved. This Insights program helps participants develop an awareness of how they can influence the effectiveness of a team by understanding more about their own role and type and preferences of other team members.

WORKSHOP 5 - 2- DAY WORKSHOP (1 DAY ALSO AVAILABLE) MONDAY, JUNE 12, & THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 2000
Building an Effective Project Plan - Mickey Granot, Israel

In order to successfully conclude a project, there are two necessary conditions:
the first one is to have a focused, rigorous and agreed upon project plan, and
the second is to effectively control the progress. This seminar deals with the first necessary condition. The seminar is a hands- on seminar during which you prepare a full project plan to one of your real life projects. The first part is dedicated to defining your project objective and scope, develop a list of obstacles and identify the appropriate intermediate objectives. These deliverables are then incorporated into a prerequisite tree. The second part is dedicated to transforming the prerequisite tree into a project plan. In this part you will generate the task list, determine their interdependencies, chart task sequences using PERT, and analyze the plan.
