Success is often found n ot in simply getting “the thing” done\, but in managing the process alon g the way. \;\n \;\nIt’s easy to understand how nonprofit staff ge t sidled with project management in the course of their work: you manage the website for your organization\, so it just makes sense that you are responsible for the upcoming website redesign project\, right? Likewise for the CRM migration\, email platform transition\, and on\, and on. 3\;\n \;\nNervous about helming such a transition? That’s where this Lab comes in. \;\n \;\nManaging a technology-related project for y our nonprofit can seem like a daunting task\, whether you have experienc e in project management or not. Each project and organization presents i ts own unique set of challenges. Even if you feel like you have a good s ystem in place\, having a chance to connect with other’s approaches and perspectives can be an eye-opening experience. \;\n \;\nDuring thi s Lab\, we will spend the day working through strategies\, frameworks\, and best practices to help guide you through the range of technology-rel ated projects that you encounter and how to better manage them for succe ss. Be prepared for exercises that will get you thinking about a particu lar project your organization is currently working on or getting ready t o begin. Also come ready to share your experiences\, tips\, and lessons learned with the rest of the group as we work to learn as a community.&# 13\;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nAt the NTEN Lab\, you will learn how to:& #13\;\n \;\nOversee project budgets \;\nDevelop project plans \ ;\nReign in scope creep \;\nManage internal communications &\; exp ectations \;\nHandle vendor relationships \;\nMonitor &\; evalu ate the “success” of your project \;\n \;\n \;\nAbout the NTEN Lab \;\n \;\nThe NTEN Lab is an in-person\, collaborative space f or shared learning\, as well as an opportunity to connect with your peer s to explore different ways to manage technology-related projects for yo ur organization.
