Workshop Outline
RApid Planning (RAP) Facilitation
Foundational Knowledge
This workshop is designed for people who are familiar with the thomsett PM models, have project management experience and are likely to facilitate project planning sessions.
The Workshop
This two day workshop provides participants with an overview of the comprehensive project management techniques and models that comprise Third Wave Project Management. It focuses on techniques for conducting Rapid Planning sessions and tips for ensuring an effective planning result. It also introduces techniques for the RAP facilitator for conducting these team-based sessions.
The workshop is based around a number of simulations involving many of the situations that arise during the conduct of a RAP session. By demonstrating how to capture the essential integrated information required to plan and then manage projects of all sizes, the workshop equips the participants with the techniques and confidence to facilitate a full-scale planning session that will dramatically increase the likelihood of project success.
The workshop follows the experience based learning approach. This involves a combination of lecture style tutorials, participative simulations and reflection and discussion on current and past experience. The various Project Management models that were introduced via the PM: Essential Techniques Workshop will be reviewed and each participant will conduct part of a simulated RAP using a suitable case study project.
Topics covered include:
- Introduction
- Review of Project Management concepts and tools
- How to:
- Determine when best time to run a RAP
