8 Tips for Managing eLearning Projects Successfully

In a recent chat with a Project Management Institute (PMI) – certified senior project manager, I had asked her about what it was like to be a PM on complicated projects. Her reply was somewhat amusing – “it’s like driving a bunch of wild cats in the same direction, with all of them spitting and hissing at each other and at the PM”. While that may be a slight exaggeration, anyone who has been a project manager even for a very short while knows that it calls for every iota of patience and diplomacy, coupled with the right amount of drive and push to get the job done on scope, on schedule, with the required quality, and while keeping relationships intact with the team and the customer. In an ideal world, the entire eLearning team would work seamlessly, turn out brilliant courses together, and everyone, including the customer, would live happily ever after. If only workplace reality was as simple as that!
