For Staff and Managers: Managing Projects

Managing Projects will be offered exclusively online in 2024.

Are you leading or working on a team-based, deadline-driven project? Are you looking for strategies to get everyone on the same page and plan the work effectively? Whether or not you're a manager or have “project manager” in your title, this training is for you. We highly recommend you arrive prepared to workshop a project that you are currently working on and attend the course with one other person from your project team.

Participants in this introductory-level course will learn how to:

  • Get the whole team aligned and working toward the same vision for the project
  • Integrate equity and inclusion practices into your work with stakeholders and your team
  • Create a basic outline for an effective project plan
  • Estimate risks and plan for mitigations
  • Build relationships and improve communication on your team
  • Manage the work and contributors, even if you aren’t their supervisor

This online course is offered in two formats: a 1-day training (6 hours), or a 2-part series (two consecutive, 3-hour days). Each format includes the same content and activities and frequent short breaks. The 1-day training includes a 45-minute lunch break each day.

Live transcription is enabled for every online training. Additional accommodations are available on request. Please share your access needs when you register and review our Accessibility FAQs.
