Project Management 2: Team management, commitment & project start

How do you best lead your projects?

The leading of your project team is a big and important part of your task as a project manager. Part of the key is to take your project participants as a starting point. For they must be led differently according to who they are as human beings. And this part is difficult.

There is a big difference in how you should work with your project participants when you e.g. must give them feedback: How can you best tell a project participant that what he or she is delivering on the project does not live up to your expectations and the requirements in the project?

It is a sensitive task to give feedback - especially when the feedback is negative. Should you focus on the concrete effort, say things straight as they are, or take a slightly more informal approach?

Your leading of the project team

In this course, we work with your leading of the project team: How do the different profiles work together in the project, and what requirements does it place on your role as project manager?

You get tools to handle different personality profiles so you can lead the project participants in the best way. We work from the DiSC profile throughout the course. It is built up of 4 different profiles. If you have not previously taken a DiSC profile, you must complete it before the start of the course. We will send you a test once we have received your registration.

The goal is to enable you to handle the project group, especially in the project's start-up phase, so that you get off to a good start. The better you as a project manager get a handle on the project team before starting, the better the conditions for the project to succeed.

In the course, we train and reflect on concrete methods for team development and project planning. All with a focus on your leadership of the group and the collaboration in the team.

We recommend that the course participant has reviewed Project Management 1: Foundations of project management or similar. This means that students need to be in control of the basic project management tools to get the most out of the course.

On the course you work with:

• The start phase of the project

This is how the course in Project Management 2: Team management, commitment & project start-up proceeds

During the course, you and the other participants will be divided into groups, which each plan and carry out your start-up seminar. Together you decide how the process should proceed and which tools you want to use. These choices depend on the project task chosen and the composition of your project team.

This active project start can allow you to be inspired by the beginning of your future projects, at phase start, at a change of pace, or if your project needs to get back on track.

Play and creativity

The course focuses on team development, as this gives a project a flying start. Here you work with the challenges of creating commitment and community around a task solution. Among other things, focus on thinking creatively and include play as a supplement in the establishment phase, as this promotes a group's development and sets a good tone from the start.
