This intro to project management for HR gets into the steps of project management in more detail than the other video I have done regarding project management. It's also general enough to be useful to people outside HR!
This video explores the phases of project management and where you are most likely to be tripped up. HR isn't leading billion dollar projects - so what do we need? Really, it is a lot of the same things as large projects - just a scaled back version.
Steve Lemmex is a project management professional who has had a long career in project management. He is familiar with bosses who think you should be able to do it for free in 2 weeks. And what your job as project manager really is and where you are likely to go wrong. He teaches courses to HR professionals and others and shares some of his knowledge.
