The Value of Continuous Improvement in Human Service Projects

Power Skills

Synopsis:

Project management tools and practice don’t always fit neatly the intended goals and some outputs of human service projects. Zannalyn’s presentation will be delivered through a case study of developing and scaling a multimillion-dollar human services project using PM practice in an environment at the beginning of their journey to the application of project management process within the day-to-day operations. The project included many diverse stakeholders, multiple often competing requirements but ultimately led to valuable takeaways and best practices that can be applied to human service projects.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Leveraging opportunities within scope creep (Triple constraint)
  • Stakeholder engagement and listening as key to delivering quality and benefit in human/social service projects
  • Translating PM practice to non-PM staff and decision makers
  • Remaining flexible and adapting throughout continuous improvement
