Project Manager Ask a Mentor Session - Earned Value, Sponsors

Are you facing challenges in your project or unsure how to handle a specific situation? Do you want to learn more about implementing project management tools and techniques, or are you in a bind and need some guidance?

As project managers, we often need someone to talk to, to help us navigate tough situations and develop effective action plans. Despite the abundance of leadership coaching available, it's surprising how little is directed towards project managers who are at the forefront of change. Many of us work in executive roles and lead teams, yet few organisations invest in developing these crucial resources.
