Description:

In IT at UIC, effective IT Project Management (PM) may be the next great frontier for efficient IT. With limited budgets and pressure to “do more with less,” how can you and your IT peers meet project goals successfully? Do you find that some projects are lacking sponsorship, support, or alignment with our University mission? Are there projects that you have difficulty getting input or setting specific, actionable goals? Are project scope and goals, or even timeline or resources to complete those projects unclear?

As part of this session, led by a CEB expert advisor in the field, learn how PM leaders are looking for flexible project managers who can make quick decisions and seamlessly navigate risks and ambiguity. These high-performing project managers possess a set of Entrepreneurial skills that help them effectively navigate a dynamic project environment.

Did you know, the average cost overrun of all projects is 27% and 39% of projects fail due to a lack of planning, resources, and activities?1

Be an IT rockstar by learning how we can better guide IT projects with core project management fundamentals, knowledge, terms, and techniques.
