PM Insights Sunnyvale Virtual Meeting
Make it Quick! The Art of Effective Updates
Giving project updates or meeting summaries is critical to successful project management. But it's also challenging: How much should you say? How should you organize the information? How do you customize it for different audiences?
During this presentation, you will learn how to communicate updates efficiently and effectively, whether you are speaking to your team, your manager, or senior executives. The focus is on verbal communication, but everything you learn applies to writing as well. We will use breakout rooms to practice, so you feel ready and confident to use your new skills right away.
Takeaways:
- Discover the foundation of effective communication: the “Rule of 3
- Find out how backstory (too much or too little) can make or break your updates
- Learn 2 speaking templates for providing updates on meetings and projects.
- Practice these speaking templates with your peers in breakout rooms
