Project Management: 07. Handling Change

As a project manager, you're going to be wearing a lot of hats. One of those hats will be a magic genie hat for predicting the future. I know what you're thinking. It's not possible, but in fact, as a project manager, this WILL be one of your responsibilities. Some projects require you to anticipate what will happen in the next 6 months, 12 months, or even 24 months. And some projects will require you to make predictions based on what happened in the past. Scopes are going to change: whether it's because a stakeholder wanted a change, because a client missed a deadline, or because the team fell behind for reasons outside of your control. As a project manager, you need to be prepared for change and you need to know how to handle it. That's what we'll go over in this program.
