Description

'Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.'

Learn about the art of productive laziness with The Lazy Project Manager; understanding what is meant by the ‘productive lazy’ approach to projects (and life) and learn how to apply these lessons ‘to be twice as productive and still leave the office early’.

The course will cover the definition of productive laziness, the science behind the theory (yes there really is some), and will share some personal learning experiences and look at the key project stages, one of which the ‘lazy’ project manager works very hard in and the second they should be in the position of enjoying the ‘comfy chair’ safe in the knowledge that the project is well under control.

A specific focus will be made on the third area, project closure, which can be done so much better with very little effort but with a significant value add for all ‘would be’ lazy project managers.

Who should attend?

• Project Managers
• Senior PM practitioners
• Project Administrators
• PMO staff
• Team members

All are welcome to learn about effective project management and team efficiency. At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

*Apply the approach of 'Productive Laziness'
*Understand how to better manage themselves while managing others on projects
*Identify ways to apply the concept of working smarter, not harder
*Apply personal efforts where it matters most on a project
*Communicate more effectively with the entire project team
