Historically, pain points have been used most frequently by business analysts or marketers to identify recurring problems, annoyances or other obstructions that may be inconveniencing their customers. In project management, many pain points have persisted over the years, making it difficult to gain the true strategic value of projects. However, reversing the course of these project management pain points has begun. The undivided attention of company executives to the value promise of project management is now a must-have ingredient for extracting the future gains of project management.

What one person perceives as a pain point, another individual may not see it in the same light or see it as an issue that needs to be addressed. This webinar will show how to chart the path forward on the multitude of pains highlighted. Doing so will require a flavorful sauce to encompass key ingredients such as diversity of transparent inputs, autonomy of working, a human form of digital solutions, and an appreciation of the principles necessary to make the implementation of project management tightly aligned to value.
