Topic:

Project managers are busier than ever. We need smart tactics for workload management and different ways to think about the work we do to prevent overwhelm and boost productivity.

In this webinar, Elizabeth Harrin will discuss practical strategies to help you manage all the things on your To-Do list.

You’ll learn how to reframe your work as your personal portfolio, tactics for using your time efficiently and how to use the 80/20 Pareto Principle to focus on what’s really driving your personal and project successes.

She’ll also share some tried-and-tested techniques for engaging virtual teams and keeping the work going while based apart.

You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and share your experiences of best practice work management.

Please note this presentation is tool-agnostic, so we won’t be looking at the efficient use of virtual meeting tools or task management software.
