How to Successfully Manage a Government Project ~ Set Objectives and Baselines



Setting Your Project Up for Success

Program and Project Managers (PMs) have the primary responsibility for developing and managing projects according to government requirements and measurable performance standards.  They ensure that all activities in the project life-cycle achieve their intended outcomes.

This webcast will address the government PM’s role and a number of tools that can be used during performance of the project to ensure a successful post-award phase of the acquisition process.

Proper planning dramatically increases your odds of meeting project objectives and coming in on time and under budget.  You’ll discover the tools to initiate a government project successfully. We’ll show you how to set realistic objectives and accurate baselines for scope, timeline, costs and quality.
