Effective Project Management is critical in the success of any project. But PM is given a bad rap—we’re often considered the boring baby-sitters that make sure projects actually finish. But PM doesn’t have to be that way. Humor can enhance your regular communications, increase the engagement of your resources, and improveyour ability to solve problems as they arise, all while making the project more fun.
This session will cover how to use humor to improve your project management skills and increase the success, and the fun, of your projects. The session attendees will learn:
Initiating: Why PMs Should Use Humor
Planning: The Humor MAP
Executing: Examples Humor PMs Can Use
Monitoring: Appropriate / Inappropriate Humor
Closing: How to Start Using Humor Today
