Given the constant demands on project managers and teams, who has time for training? One practical solution is the single-point lesson — an informal, standalone session that focuses on one concept, idea or skill, and can be conducted in under an hour over lunch.
Project management offices play an important role in training and sharing best practices with project managers within the program or organization. A PMO should be staffed with resources possessing the technical and administrative expertise to coach and mentor novice project managers on effective application of project management processes like schedule development, integration management, and program management. Given the constant demands for a project manager’s time, who’s got time for training?
One solution to finding time in a time-crunched world is using single point lessons. Actively used in manufacturing environments, single point lessons are short, standalone training workshops that focus on a single concept, idea, or skill. Instead of spending four days away from the job, a single point lesson can be conducted within an hour during a morning meeting or “Lunch and Learn” session.
Single point lessons don’t require bulky training manuals or participant guides.
