Project Management

About this episode

This episode explores the complexities of managing a project, starting with problem definition and outlining future discussions on team management.

Managing a project is a complex process influenced by a range of factors that can make it challenging, both on a personal and an organizational level. We’ll look at managing and overseeing a project in this episode beginning with defining the problem. In future episodes we’ll examine setting up a project team, monitoring team progress, making course corrections as a project progresses, ongoing evaluation of team management and the manager’s role before, during, and after the project.
