Really great - just felt like some aspects of the more techy sides of project management were skimmed over a bit quickly, but it’s ok as I can revisit the resources online.

Claire obviously had lots of experience which was fantastic and really owned the material. I’d love to see some very practical suggestions of tools to use (ie software) to help manage the vast information that a PM has to grab and share.
Some thoughts went to how we could use Claire’s knowledge to facilitate a really relevant half day or day helping us to put the theory into our own/current projects so that we can drive best practice and keep the learning alive.
It’s difficult to involve everyone but I wonder what more could be done to engage every individual, get them to contribute more. Feedback I’ll give to my team is they shouldn’t have had to be encouraged to answer questions!
Suggestions on how I could ‘test’ in some way that they have absorbed what we learned would be really useful. I was thinking about mini- project groups, on-training to the rest of our team, and of course them putting it into practice. What follow-up can you recommend to help me to ensure we don’t lose sight of the core principles and best practice?
Thanks for a great day!

Below are some extracts from our Project Management - Framework & Processes manual.
Fundamentals of Project Management
How can we manage something if we can’t define it?
Discussion:
· What are the key characteristics of a project?
· What makes a project different from the normal daily tasks? How is this different to business as usual (BAU)?
Projects are unique, temporary endeavours undertaken to achieve a desired outcome. Projects bring about change
Purposeful – they are fulfilling some kind of need
A way of achieving an objective or strategic goal
Temporary – have a defined start point and end point
Have a life-cycle – distinct phases which have their own challenges and characteristics
Unique – each project is unlike any other project. It may be similar to other projects; never exactly the same
Complex – many separate but connected tasks, many of them are interdependent
VUCA Environment
Volatile
Uncertain
Complex
Ambiguous
Projects (VUCA) versus BAU
Unique Repetitive
Defined start and finish On-going
Involve uncertainty Based on experience
Have a specifically assembled team Established resources
Dynamic environment Stable environment
Project Variables
· What are our components and tools?
· What variables do we need to manage?
