Book description
Want happier, more successful project teams?
Better-run meetings will help get you there. Project leaders are “get it done” people, so we often dislike, avoid, and/or fail to properly plan meetings. This practical guide to facilitating project meetings and building cohesive teams will enable you to make your sessions more productive!
You’ll learn:
- How improving traditional PM meetings and Agile events can greatly improve continuous team building, making you a better project leader
- Overcoming challenges in managing conflict based on real-world stories from your fellow project leaders
- How to deal with ‘goblins’ (e.g., Billy the Bully) who often derail your meetings.
Aligned with PMI’s PMBOK® Guide Seventh Edition, this book will help you deliver project success in today’s hybrid work environment.
