The Art of Productivity

How can project managers improve productivity when meetings, competing priorities, and unfinished tasks keep pulling their attention? In “The Art of Productivity,” Jeremiah Hammon, PMP, of Project Revolution joins Steve West and Mathew Sparkes of Project Insight to share practical frameworks for protecting focus, setting measurable goals, and turning busy days into meaningful project progress. Join for a discussion of productivity, project planning, and the connection between daily work and organizational goals. 1.0 Business Acumen PDU In this webinar, you’ll learn: • How multitasking and context switching interrupt focused work • Why unfinished tasks create “open loops” that follow you home • How to define success with “good, better, best” goals • How to connect goals to projects, milestones, and actionable tasks • How to recognize when a task is actually a mini project • How to prioritize work by value and effort • How to plan demanding work around your most productive hours The session also shows how Project Insight helps teams put these practices into action through shared project plans, work breakdown structures, resource visibility, and planned-versus-actual tracking. Keeping that information connected helps people see what needs to happen, what has been accomplished, and how their work supports larger goals.
