PMP 1.5 - Ensure Team Members/Stakeholders Are Adequately Trained
The Project Management Institute breaks down their body of knowledge into Domains, Tasks, and Enablers. Domain is the high level knowledge area essential to the practice, Task is the underlying responsibilities of the project manager in that domain, and Enablers are illustrative examples of the work associated to the task.
Ensure Team Members/Stakeholders Are Adequately Trained is the fifth task under the PMI’s first Domain, “People”. I’m a firm believer in investing a significant amount of time prior to any project launch where you are enabling autonomous process and change champions. When it comes to training, empowerment, and updating you can take many strategies. Pick what works best for your stakeholder pool, but it all boils down to your communication plan. Make sure everyone knows that the change is coming, how it impacts them, and how they can learn what their new role will be.
