PM Trends Issue 227

"Welcome to Project Management Trends. In each issue, we try to bring to you important information that is pertinent to the direct application of real-life project management"
One of the findings from a recently conducted survey by project management training and consulting firm Project Management Solutions (led by Kent Crawford) was that not all forms of project management training are created equal - or are even effective.
The survey looked at three forms of training
-
Instructor-led classroom training
-
Blended training
-
Technology delivered training
Instructor-led classroom training ranked #1
69% of respondents rated it as the most effective method for a variety of reasons. These included the opportunity to network, to spontaneously ask questions and share experiences, and to learn in an environment that tries to mimic actual project team dynamics.
"The instructors are typically seasoned project managers who have a lot of war stories," says Crawford. "They felt hearing lessons from someone who has the scars is invaluable. There are also a lot of breakout groups and exercises. Students work with each other to resolve problems and handle conflicts."
