Project Management for Non-Project Managers in The Life Sciences
About This Event
Today more than ever before the job titles that we hold are not entirely reflective of the work that we do. Global teams and collaboration often place those in positions of team leadership that have the least foundation to manage all facets of complex projects. Project management requires specific knowledge of the key project facets that must be carefully managed. The interactions across divergent corporate functions, culture, language, and time zones all pose unique challenges to the new project manager.

It is not possible to present a complete treatment of project management in the span of 90 minutes.

Without basic tools, it is not possible to effectively manage a project to the pre-determined end-date without turmoil and chaos.
