Projects are only as valuable as the results they achieve. In this course, you’ll learn how project requirements can be defined, how project progress can be measured across a variety of domains, and how team performance may be assessed and nurtured.

Without a compass and a set of guiding principles, project teams are too often left adrift, unable to achieve their objectives or defend their place within organizations. In this course, Gauging Project Team Performance, you'll gain the skills to ensure that what you’re measuring and what you’re doing are aligned to generate results. First, you’ll learn how to define project objectives and requirements in a way that guides your team’s efforts effectively, and allows you to measure your achievement in meeting underlying needs. Next, you’ll learn how project progress may be measured across a variety of domains, and the role of change management in ensuring successful results. Finally, you’ll learn how project objectives can be leveraged in gauging the performance of team members, and how team performance may be nurtured by team leaders and members alike. By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge of what separates focused, mission-driven project teams from those that never quite reach a finish line that was never fully defined.
