Opaque Transparency: The Silent Project Killer A 2014 report from the Standish Group showed that a staggering 31.1% of software projects get cancelled before completion. Further, over 50% of projects will cost nearly 200% of their original estimates, and only 16% of software projects are completed on time and on budget. The report cited user collaboration, executive level support and clearly stated requirements as key contributors to success, but what's the common denominator? Having led many public and private classes, and consulted with many corporations, I hear the same pain points over and over. Sharing these pains (which everyone of course believes are unique to them!) will hopefully lead to more project managers pushing for support, executives introspecting a little deeper and more realistically, and team members asking for more project transparency! I've summed up the major project pains from folks mentioned above in to one collective term: transparency. Transparency means clarity, and there are many opportunities from day one of a project to introduce clarity, yet so often these opportunities are missed one after the other. This makes the lack of transparency a silent project killer, slowly choking any chance of success and lending itself to the sad statistics shown above. Thankfully, there is hope! A clear and realistic project charter gets things off to a good start, but it needs to be followed up with other key processes. This presentation talks about those key processes, and more importantly, the fact that brilliant processes are useless without the right people employing them.
Description Communication Skills Diploma Communication is the art of conveying or sharing ideas, feelings or any other kind of information. Communication takes place all the time even when you are not actually speaking or writing anything because not all communication is verbal in nature. For instance, you can communicate using your body language alone. Like every art communication too requires certain skills. Some are born with communicative skills and need not spend a lot of time developing it while others may not be so lucky. Whichever category you belong in, the happy news is that communication skills can be developed by anyone irrespective of age, sex and ethnicity. All it takes is the right learning material and a willingness to commit yourself to the process and practice of communication. No matter which aspect of your life you are looking at, communication plays a vital role. Take your career and personal life, for example, isn't communication an essential part of them both? Definitely, your success at work and in your personal life depends significantly on how good a communicator you are. A good communicator is someone who has the ability to communicate with clarity, courage and commitment. Good communication paves way for understanding, intimacy, mutual appreciation and respect. Communication Skills Diploma is a practical course that helps you develop and successfully apply communication skills so that you can achieve your personal goals along with building and maintaining healthy relationships with others. Speaking is not the only aspect that the Communication Skills Diploma focuses on.

Communication Skills Diploma points out why understanding your audience and tailoring your communication process according to them is important in ensuring that your efforts are successful.
