Step by step, Facilitating the Project Lifecycle guides the project manager/facilitator in making smart choices about when and how to pull key talent together to spell success for the project and ultimately the organization. The authors will help you understand the benefits of using facilitated group work sessions to get real work done during a project and get it done better and more efficiently than more traditional individual work approaches. In addition, the book includes: recommendations for capitalizing on group knowledge to accelerate the building of key project deliverables and ensure their quality as they are built; a work session structure for planning, delivering, and following up facilitated work sessions; guides for building key project deliverables; sample agendas; and proven techniques for managing the group dynamics.
