Overview

Struggling with ineffective project meetings? You’re not alone.

  • 67% of executives believe their virtual meetings are failures.
  • Only 17% of senior managers find their meetings productive.
  • A mere 30% of meetings are considered productive, with only 37% using an agenda.

Want to create happier, more successful project teams?

Better-run meetings are the key. As project leaders, we often dislike, avoid, and fail to properly plan meetings. This practical guide will help you facilitate project meetings and build cohesive teams, making your meetings more productive and yielding better project results.

In this book, you’ll discover:

  • How improving traditional PM meetings and Agile events can enhance continuous team building, making you a better project leader.
  • Strategies to overcome challenges in managing conflict, with real-world stories from fellow project leaders.
  • Practical, time-tested techniques to handle disruptive participants (goblins e.g., “Billy the Bully”) who derail your meetings.

Aligned with PMI’s PMBOK® Guide Seventh Edition, this book will help you achieve project success in today’s environment - hybrid in several ways – in-person and virtual, predictive and Agile, AI and human.
