As project managers, we’ve suffered dysfunctional consequences when project sponsors are not fulfilling their roles\. We chose warp\-speed for the title in recognition of the time constraints that are the reality of the lives of most executives\. The value of completing the warp\-speed project assessment below and taking action where needed is that it will help you: 1\. Fulfill your role as project sponsor more effectively\. 2\. Identify areas where your intervention is critical to project success\. 3\. Reduce the risk of a disappointing project outcome\. 4\. Support your project manager and the team better\. You know you should know the status and risks of your project, but you don’t really feel like you do\. You want your project to succeed\. Your business depends on it\. You don’t want project failure to damage your carefully nurtured reputation, your organization’s standing in the community, or its well\-regarded brand\. You also don’t want others in the organization to view your project as a boondoggle or a career\-killing project\. - [A Concise Guide to Project Collaboration: Building a Delivery Organization](https://projectbites.com/product/a-concise-guide-to-project-collaboration-building-a-delivery-organization/): Easy to read by an executive and act on immediately, this concise guide shows how organizations can use specific collaborative techniques within the context of a business\-friendly lifecycle\. Models that clearly illustrate the gaps between provider and owner point the way to practical solutions, developed by the author into 22 precise techniques drawn from selected administrative and professional practices well\-matched for collaboration between owner and provider\. This organization\-centric concept of PM acknowledges the obvious – corporate projects operate in a corporate environment which can be favorable or unfavorable\. To build an environment favorable to responsible collaboration a specific recipe must be followed, as good intentions are not enough to eliminate recurring frictions and impediments encountered by projects\. The owner is given business control and the provider retains project control\. Robin calls this a Delivery Organization aligned to the business\. The guide lays out exactly what must be done to implement this mature version of PM, to integrate with the business, and to ensure consistent delivery\. It must inevitably result in a more productive and gratified project manager, and a satisfied project owner\. - [The Persuasive Project Manager: Communicating for Understanding](https://projectbites.com/product/the-persuasive-project-manager-communicating-for-understanding/): Could you manage your projects better? Do you have problems with misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and missed opportunities? You may have heard that “90% of a project manager’s work is communication\.” And my book will help you communicate for understanding instead of just giving information\. You will learn how to manage and coordinate meaning – and understanding – in your projects\. In my book, I will explain: •What Aristotle taught us about effective communication and why his 2,000\-year old advice is still vital to persuasive communication\. •How the “Coordinated Management of Meaning” can help you develop and lead high\-performing project teams\. •Why the project manager is the communication hub and how you can better manage the flow of project communication\. •Why project managers need to master both emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence to be more effective in negotiations and leading teams\. •How to recognize and overcome cognitive biases to better communicate your message\. •How to effectively communicate online with a distributed workforce by virtually “present\.” You will receive workplace\-tested, practical tips and tools to help you improve your project management communication style\. Learn about the latest communication research and methods to create a culture of understanding and increase your chances for project success\. - [The Essential Guide to Facilitating Project Management Workshops](https://projectbites.com/product/the-essential-guide-to-facilitating-project-management-workshops/): No matter how great our experiences are, they limit what we see\. If you believe that better planning comes from collaboration, this book was written for you\. The Essential Guide to Facilitating Project Management Workshops provides step\-by\-step directions in preparing for and leading collaborative planning events that result in a shared vision of project success and the project approach\. Because project management is more a way of thought to approaching a problem than a list of techniques and forms and templates, integrating it into an organization requires the company to change the way it plans and staffs project work\. A collaborative workshop is a great way to drive that change\. Collaborative planning: Integrates different perspectives into one cohesive Project Plan Creates a common vision of the project for the project team and organizational sponsors Increases confidence in the accuracy of the Project Plan Utilizes best practices in project management\. ## BuddyPress Directories - [Activate](https://projectbites.com/?post_type=buddypress&p=28472) - [Register](https://projectbites.com/?post_type=buddypress&p=28473) - [Users](https://projectbites.com/users/) - [Activity](https://projectbites.com/activity/) - [Groups](https://projectbites.com/groups/) ## Bites - [Requirements Traps AI Probably Won’t Avoid](https://projectbites.com/bite/requirements-traps-ai-probably-wont-avoid/) - [Do Your Stakeholders Appreciate Being Managed?](https://projectbites.com/bite/do-your-stakeholders-appreciate-being-managed/) - [Is Managing by Matrix Really Bad?](https://projectbites.com/bite/is-managing-by-matrix-really-bad/) - [Scheduling Resource\-Constrained Projects](https://projectbites.com/bite/scheduling-resource-constrained-projects/) - [Project Management for Regular People](https://projectbites.com/bite/project-management-for-regular-people/) ## PMI Chapters - [PMI Calumet Chapter](https://projectbites.com/pmi-chapter/pmi-calumet-chapter/) - [Heartland](https://projectbites.com/pmi-chapter/heartland/) - [Montana](https://projectbites.com/pmi-chapter/montana/) - [Rio Grande](https://projectbites.com/pmi-chapter/rio-grande/) - [South Western Ontario](https://projectbites.com/pmi-chapter/south-western-ontario/) ## Announcements - [Group Rates Available](https://projectbites.com/announcement/group-rates-available/) - [Important Update](https://projectbites.com/announcement/important-update/) ## Episode - [Reconciling Seemingly Separate Specialties](https://projectbites.com/podcast/reconciling-seemingly-separate-specialties/) - [Reconciling Seemingly Separate Specialties](https://projectbites.com/podcast/reconciling-seemingly-separate-specialties-3/) - [Leading Without Authority](https://projectbites.com/podcast/leading-without-authority/) - [Leading Without Authority](https://projectbites.com/podcast/leading-without-authority-3/) - [Presence, Then Connection Then Trust\.](https://projectbites.com/podcast/presence-then-connection-then-trust/) ## Tags - [David's Pick](https://projectbites.com/tag/davids-pick/) - [leadership](https://projectbites.com/tag/leadership/) - [strategy](https://projectbites.com/tag/strategy/) - [communications](https://projectbites.com/tag/communications/) - [make the decision](https://projectbites.com/tag/make-the-decision/) ## Tags - [agile](https://projectbites.com/course-tag/agile/) - [PM for Non\-PMs](https://projectbites.com/course-tag/pm-for-non-pms/) - [intro to planning](https://projectbites.com/course-tag/intro-to-planning/) - [career development](https://projectbites.com/course-tag/career-development/) - [project management](https://projectbites.com/course-tag/project-management/) ## Product categories - [E\-Books](https://projectbites.com/product-category/e-books/) - [Books](https://projectbites.com/product-category/books/) - [ebook and hardcover](https://projectbites.com/product-category/ebook-and-hardcover/) - [Paperback](https://projectbites.com/product-category/paperback/) - [Kindle](https://projectbites.com/product-category/kindle/) ## Product tags - [Project Management](https://projectbites.com/product-tag/project-management/) - [portfolio management](https://projectbites.com/product-tag/portfolio-management/) - [Relationships](https://projectbites.com/product-tag/relationships/) - [communications](https://projectbites.com/product-tag/communications/) - [facilitation](https://projectbites.com/product-tag/facilitation/) ## Topics - [Leadership](https://projectbites.com/topics/leadership/) - [Agile](https://projectbites.com/topics/agile/) - [Communication](https://projectbites.com/topics/communication/) - [Team Management](https://projectbites.com/topics/team-management/) - [Career Development](https://projectbites.com/topics/career-development/) ## Collections - [Large Capital Projects](https://projectbites.com/collections/large-capital-projects/) - [Project Management for Non\-Project Managers](https://projectbites.com/collections/project-management-for-non-project-project-managers/) - [Construction](https://projectbites.com/collections/construction/) - [David's Picks](https://projectbites.com/collections/davids-picks/) - [IT](https://projectbites.com/collections/it/) ## Podcasts - [The Bite\-Sized Project Manager](https://projectbites.com/podcasts/the-bite-sized-project-manager/) ## Optional - [Sitemap index](https://projectbites.com/sitemap_index.xml)
