FREE AGC Webinar: Sandbaggers and Pollyannas: Coaching Projections for PMs

Description

Description:

Projections can often be a forcing mechanism for an honest look at a project’s finances. But busy Project Managers often either prioritize paper over their problems, do the budget by feel, reckon it will come out in the wash, or sandbag their numbers to protect themselves. Or often, their background in operations has not equipped them to know what you need. Learn how to improve the accuracy (and attention to detail) for your colleagues in project management.

Join us for this session where you will learn:

• Projections in 5 minutes or less: who, what, how often, and WHY   
• Common roadblocks to an honest projection: data, priorities, PM education, culture   
• Auditing projections: how to spot problematic projections (automation is your friend)   
• Usual suspects: 3 general areas to investigate first: estimates, change orders, your own crew
