Rescue My Project!
An All-Day Workshop with Brian Munroe
September 24, 2009

Workshop Overview:
This is a condensed, one day version of a 3 day course. This interactive, instructor led course is designed to give project managers a solid overview of the methodology necessary to effectively assess and either recover or terminate a troubled project. Through instruction, discussions of real experiences and hands on exercises, project managers will gain insight into why projects fail and recognizing symptoms of troubled projects. Participants will learn how to effectively and efficiently plan and execute the entire project rescue process, including assessment, project decision, and recovery or termination. This one day course is designed to provide a solid overview of the project rescue methodology. The complete suite of tools and templates that is normally provided with the 3 day course will be available for purchase on the day of the event.

Workshop Benefits:
Any project at any organization with any team can fail. However, projects never go from being well managed, on-budget and on-schedule to outright failure overnight. There is always a transition period during which time the project is “troubled”. It is during this time that a window of opportunity exists in which the project can potentially be rescued, and is likely the last chance to save the project. This course will give project managers an overview of the knowledge and tools needed to quickly and accurately assess the current status and root causes of problems, decide the most appropriate course of action and plan and execute that decision.

Who should attend:
Project/Program managers, project directors, project sponsors and other project team members who want to understand why projects fail and how to effectively and efficiently rescue projects that are in trouble.
