Project Governance: The 21 things every project manager needs to know about the status of their Project. (White paper)

Project Governance: The 21 things every project manager needs to know about the status of their Project. (Power-Point Presentation)

Janet Dahmen, Rolta TUSC

Most project managers establish a routine at the beginning of a project, in which they outline and deliver regular status reports. And while knowing the events of what occurred during the last week are important, this information doesn't represent the real picture about what is happening within your team or the underlying health and welfare of your project. This presentation will talk about the types of information that the every project manager should be tracking in regards to their project; from the effectiveness of monitoring processes to the readiness of your organization. These key information points will provide you a deeper insight into the progress being made; and most importantly, alert you about the areas that have the greatest ability to de-rail your project's success.

Janet Dahmen is a PMI Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with twenty years of Information Technology experience. She has been with TUSC for over fourteen years, managing large implementation teams and key accounts. She regularly performs project audits, providing field-level Project Managers with an objective evaluation of the effectiveness of the project's controlling processes and overall project strength.
