A Tale of Two Projects:  How to Run a Successful Large-Scale Implementation

You’ve been assigned a project to replace technology for the whole company, enterprise-level.  If you think that sounds like a big job, you’re right!  You need project management skills to successfully deliver project value, but if you’ve never handled an enterprise level project, there are things that could fall through the cracks.  Danielle offers up tips for managing a project of this size, using real life case studies and experience from both a successful and unsuccessful project.  She has gained valuable insights through several large-scale implementations, and will provide strategies for stakeholder management, effective communication, understanding minimum viable product (MVP), delegation, comprehensive training and more.  Let’s learn how to overcome the fear of a large scale project and stare it right down the barrel, so you can manage it with confidence.
