The Challenge
This course came at the perfect time, and the instructor and content could not have been more appropriate. As a result, I am better equipped to identify and manage stakeholder expectations, maintain a disciplined communication cadence, right-size solutions to customer requirements, facilitate a team of indirect project contributors, and manage capacity to avoid over-committing. By applying these best practices, I am more able to gain the support needed to deliver impactful results on-time, even when I don’t have direct control over the work being done. We’re grateful to have Kent Keller and the MANTEC team in our corner as a key resource for training and advice over the past 10+ years of our growth.
