Manage Team

Ongoing oversight of how team members perform, giving constructive feedback, resolving conflicts and issues, and adjusting roles or staffing so the project delivers at its best.

Key Points

  • Monitor individual and team performance against the plan and expectations.
  • Provide timely feedback, coaching, recognition, and corrective actions as needed.
  • Resolve conflicts and remove impediments using appropriate techniques.
  • Manage team changes (reassignments, onboarding/offboarding) and update project documents accordingly.

Example

A project manager sees test coverage slipping. She holds one-on-ones to identify skill gaps, pairs a senior tester with a junior member for coaching, mediates a disagreement between dev and QA on defect priorities, and temporarily brings in a contractor. Performance improves and the schedule stabilizes.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
