Many training teams end up spinning their wheels because of too many subject matter experts, too much feedback from stakeholders, or too much time trying to figure out the “perfect” solution; all these can lead to drawn-out development that doesn’t create a better product in the end. Spectrum Health University suffered from all of these issues. They needed a way to get training developed more quickly and efficiently.

Whether you create eLearning, instructor-led training, or performance support, you’ll come away with effective project management techniques that will work for you. You’ll explore how to break a large project down into deliverable chunks and how to track progress throughout the project. You’ll also learn how to gain buy-in from your team, managers, and clients.
