- Summary
- "Facilitating the Project Lifecycle is filled with insights and practical work session techniques that can be readily applied within any project to accelerate the process and enhance quality. This book shows how to prevent some of the more common problems and pitfalls that contribute to poor quality as well as cost and time overruns. Step by step, Facilitating the Project Lifecycle guides the project manager/facilitator in making smart choices about when and how to pull key talent together to spell success for the project and ultimately the organization. The authors will help you understand the benefits of using facilitated group work sessions to get real work done during a project and get it done better and more efficiently than more traditional individual work approaches."--BOOK JACKET.
