Project Sponsor Training
This interactive workshop quickly gets to the heart of effective sponsorship. It teaches sponsors about how important they are to project success and how to contribute through effective PM coaching whilst gaining essential information on project progress.
THEMES
- Projects 101
- Roles and Responsibilities
- How the Sponsor can add to and detract from project success
- Coaching your Project Manager
- Sponsorship Tools
- Managing even further upwards and outwards
- There is the option of a series of telephone conversations with each participant during this period. We will hold the sponsor accountable for their own projects and use a simple format so that we coach them as if we are their sponsor. They get to model us and add value to real ongoing projects. We will provide sponsorship tools. This approach is designed to encourage a coaching approach to their PM's instead of simply making demands.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN DO AS A RESULT
- Discuss the components of a Project Terms of Reference
- Understand the importance of tying all projects to the organization's strategic direction and business objectives

- Know what to look for in a Scope Statement, and recognise when to ask for more information before approving it

- Coach project managers, so that when project issues arise, projects don't stall
