(WBS) for the project.The result is a list of hundreds or even thousands of tasks, many of which have a duration of a few days or a few hours. Essentially what they did was create a 'to do' list, which they then use as a 'checklist' to measure progress.This approach leads to, and even encourages, the micromanagement of resources working on the project without considering the more critical aspects of project management such as: requirements management, risk management, procurement management, estimating , planning, execution and control.Moreover, it is impossible to see the big picture, at detailed levels, in line with the needs of sponsors, customers, project and functional managers, team leaders and project implementers.

This lively and engaging presentation will help to emphasize the importance of good communication within the project management arena and provide you with the whys, whats, whens and hows of effective project communication. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
