LIST OF TOPICS FOR PROJECT WORKSHOPS¶

In every project, some aspects of project work are more effectively performed as a team than individually. Sometimes, it may be necessary to gain a quick overview of a situation or obtain the opinions of many different experts, and one-to-one interviews with these people would obviously be associated with time and communication constraints.

Suitable workshop topics

The topics listed below can be dealt with in a workshop:

• Environmental analysis
• Stakeholder analysis
• Definition of objectives
• Phase model
• Work breakdown structure
• Risk analysis
• Basic principles of team work

Not entirely suitable workshop topics

The following topics either require a high level of concentration or involve powerful emotions. That's why it is easier to process them individually or in small groups and then to present the results to the team and discuss them in more detail.

• Contract drafting
• Customer specification drafting
• Work package definition
• Process schedule creation
• Cost schedule creation
• Capacity and resource schedule creation
• Conflict resolving
