Why Attend:
If you have insufficient
visibility of who is
doing what on a
project. When you
find that projects are
over budget, go on
too long and don’t
deliver the expected
outcomes.
If no one can tell you
the status of a project
or if you find that
more than one
project is trying to fix
the same thing.
