Using social technologies to help sucessfully lead a project.

What separates project success from project failure?

The most effective project managers cultivate strong relationships with their team members. They're people managers as much as they are project managers. After all, the project management discipline is inherently social. It's not just about how well you manage the work, it's about how well you manage the people doing the work.

Join project management experts Sheri Burgos and Robert Castel and social software leader Daniel Kube, in this educational webinar, as they explore the social side of project management.

During this 60-minute webinar, sponsored by the Project Management Institute (PMI), you'll discover:

• How the concept of social project management is driving a shift from traditional task management and coordination to a deeper collaborative and facilitative approach
• Benefits of using Web 2.0 technologies to enhance the traditional project manager's toolkit
• Risks of maintaining the status quo
• How social software can help create a knowledge sharing culture for all projects
