4th Friday Virtual Meeting Moderator: Christine Glynn

Workshop - Navigating Risk and Change

If projects always went according to plan, Project Leaders would have nothing to do. They would be able to lead projects forward in two hours per week. They would check in with their team members, get universal thumbs-up and publish a status report with nothing but good news! Since that never happens, it's time we admit "RISKS & ISSUES AREN'T JUST FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS!" That's why the world needs Project Leaders because they know that projects rarely go according to plan and they spend the vast majority of 40 hours each week navigating Risk and Change to #GSD. Conquering Risk and Change is what they do!
