- 00:04 Hi, I'm Ray Sheen.
- 00:06 Welcome to this short course on Project Meetings.
- 00:09 I'm an experienced project manager with over 35 years of project
- 00:13 management experience.
- 00:14 I've been a certified project management professional for
- 00:18 the past 20 years and an Agile Scrum Master for 10 years.
- 00:22 Why does that matter?
- 00:24 Well, because it means that I've literally been involved
- 00:27 in thousands of project meetings.
- 00:29 I've seen the good ones and the bad ones.
- 00:33 What I would like to do in this course, is share a few of the lessons that I have
- 00:38 learned and the best practices that I have seen and
- 00:41 that are recognized by the Project Management Institute.
- 00:44 One advantage in the digital world, that we live in today,
- 00:48 is that it's easier than ever to communicate with your team members.
- 00:52 But that can also be a problem, if your meetings are poorly managed and
- 00:57 ineffective.
- 00:58 This mini course consists of five lessons,
- 01:01 from our larger program on all aspects of project management.
- 01:06 I've selected these five because of their direct bearing on project meetings.
- 01:12 Now, I won't be discussing the basics of good meeting management,
- 01:16 you can learn those anywhere.
- 01:18 Well, we will be looking at is the application of
- 01:21 those great principles to project meetings.
- 01:25 The first lesson is project team meetings, and it lays out some of
- 01:29 the principles of how to keep your team meetings focused and effective.
- 01:34 The next lesson is project communication.
- 01:36 In this lesson, we discuss many of the constraints on communication that
- 01:41 are unique to the project environment.
- 01:44 This lesson is broader than just meetings.
- 01:47 It's all communication.
- 01:49 But in today's environment,
- 01:50 project teams are meeting frequently, either physically or virtually, and
- 01:55 the communication principles apply to their meetings and meeting effectiveness.
- 02:00 Then we'll cover two lessons that address formal project meetings.
- 02:05 One is management reviews, and the other is technical reviews.
- 02:09 In both cases,
- 02:10 the meetings are with stakeholders who are not part of your project team.
- 02:15 And there are some best practices on how to interact with them and
- 02:19 have an effective formal meeting.
- 02:22 The final lesson concerns team decision making.
- 02:25 It has applicability for both the formal meetings and for
- 02:29 the informal team meetings that we introduced in that first lesson.
- 02:34 So come and join me as we discuss the best practices for your project meetings.
