Managing Projects for Maximum Impact

Maryland Nonprofits

The projects nonprofits are required to execute are growing in complexity and the external environment is constantly changing. But perhaps the most important factor relating to project-management success is gaining sufficient buy-in from key stakeholders. This Maryland Nonprofits course will go over the ´hard' skills of project management, such as defining outputs and outcomes, establishing a timeline, and formulating a project plan.  It will also go over ´softer' skills, such as how to ´sell' your plans to others; how to deal with diverse expectations of stakeholders; and how to manage project teams made up of members from different departments or teams (matrix management).
