Synopsis:

When it comes to the daily management of time and effort, trainers are no different from every other employee, manager, or even consultant - without a solid project plan, deadlines are hard to meet. Yet, many perfectly competent professionals, including trainers and other workplace learning professionals, continue to take a "seat of the pants" approach to project management. This is a book that will show you why this unpredictable approach to developing and managing training projects is inefficient and unworkable. You will find solid advice for improving or validating an existing training project management process, or if needed, creating a whole new training project management system.
