<div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong> </strong></em><br />
A Project Manager is the person responsible for the overall success of the project.</p>
<p><strong>What does a Project Manager do?</strong></p>
<p>Having received the Project Mandate (detailing the reason for the project and the expected outcome) from Corporate/Programme Management, it is the Project Manager’s job to:<span id="more-298"></span></p>
<p>• Decide how the expected outcome can best be achieved</p>
<p>• Draw up a Business Case justifying the proposal</p>
<p>• Create a Project Plan, including expected budget, timescale and necessary resources</p>
<p>• Build a Project Team and ensure that each member of the team understands and can perform expected project tasks</p>
<p>• Monitor project progress, control deviation from Project Plan and provide the Project Board and Stakeholders with regular updates</p>
<p>• Anticipate risks and assess the impact of proposed changes</p>
<p>• Overcome day-to-day challenges</p>
<p>• Deliver the final product to the budget, timescale and quality agreed with the Customer at the beginning</p>
<p><strong>What skills does a Project Manager require?</strong></p>
<p>• Organisation: project managers are the people who make sure that everybody else is organised, so self-organisation is an essential skill.</p>
<p>If you are the kind of person who lists everything down to the number of potatoes you put on your shopping-list, then Project Management is definitely for you. If not, then you need to learn project management organisational skills – and fast.</p>
<p>• Communication: as the project manager, you will be responsible for ensuring that everybody knows what is going on and what they are supposed to do.</p>
<p>Are you a good communicator on every level? Can you explain the basics of the project need to the most junior team member, and the next moment chair a meeting with senior representatives from your customers and suppliers?</p>
<p>Learning to be a communicative Project Manager doesn’t mean that you have to be a natural talker or have the acting skills of Laurence Olivier – it is far more important that you are aware of your communication responsibilities (who needs to know what), that you have confidence in your project management decisions and that you explain these decisions and their implications clearly and concisely to all the relevant people.</p>
<p>• Leadership: not project management, but people management</p>
<p>It may seem contradictory, but the most important part of the Project Managers job is not managing the project, but managing people.</p>
<p>It is the Project Team who will get your project done. With a set of well-trained, motivated and carefully instructed individuals, you will be able to assume the role of conductor, rather than nanny.</p>
<p>An excellent Project Management leader is somebody who knows how to set objectives not tasks, how to inspire staff with vision not fear and how to deliver accurate and constructive feedback. A good leader shows interest in staff not only as project resources, but also as capable and important members of the project team.</p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong> </strong></em><br />
In today’s global marketplace, complexity and speed are essential factors to survive. If we try to have close look on different projects taking place in various corners of the world, they all are being initiated under tight budgets with fewer resources than ever before.  Apart from this, project-based business is growing bigger and bigger every single day.<span id="more-284"></span></p>
<p>In last few years’ modern business are no longer based on just operations. More and more key business initiatives are now subject to a defined project plan, with specified deliverables and time constraints. These days every manager is expected to do more with less.  In such an environment, a good saying for project management is, &#8220;Do It, Do It Right, and Do It Right Now.&#8221;  Creating clear directions, timely response and quality outcomes are the demand of current scenario. The art of project management has gradually changed and as a result of this today the art of effective project management requires a new type of skill base.</p>
<p>Project managers need to develop a new type of skill base. It’s very unfortunate that today accidental project managers&#8217; are on the rise. Moreover, it is estimated that almost 2/3 of employees in project manager roles lack the necessary guidance and understanding essential to accomplish successful projects. A recent survey conducted by independent research agency has shown that 58% of people surveyed agree that their projects rarely meet time, cost and quality targets. Accordingly the importance of project management training and certification is on the rise.</p>
<p>Project management is a critical role within a project that acts as the ‘glue’ in bringing diverse competencies together and coordinating the current of information between them. In fact it is the demand of present scenario and project manager must be able to play several functions including an advisor, a planner, a manager, and effective communicators and a businessperson. The challenge for the Project Manager consists of attracting the correct resources, shaping a solid team, keeping the team motivated, meeting individual aspirations and getting the work done &#8211; all within scope, cost, time, and customer satisfaction.</p>
<p>Thus project management training can help project managers understand the what, why, and how of the discipline. Apart from this, project management training also help these project managers in understanding:</p>
<p>· What are the fundamental skills project managers need to be effective and how to develop them</p>
<p>· Why business and project alignment is essential for project management success and how to get it</p>
<p>The basic purpose of project management training is to educate and train project managers with the ability to foresee as many dangers and problems as possible and control activities so that the project is completed as successfully as possible in spite of all the risks.</p>
<p>Today, project management training has revolved around the benefits of a set framework of principles and various practices that are a part of effective project management. The result-oriented approach of effective project management training makes it easy for project managers to develop concepts of good project management and deliberately apply their knowledge into their projects.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">AstroWix is one of the leading organizations to offer world-class training on project management. AstroWix project management training service helps project management professionals understand the fundamental project management skills and different ways to develop them. AstroWix project management training program also helps candidates learn different project management methods and pass professional exams.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong> </strong></em>Prophet is a campaign management software program.Campaign management can be one of the most difficult aspects of a business. A campaign management system is often in order to regulate traffic flow of sales. One of the greatest campaign management software programs available is Prophet. Prophet software has been designed to make campaign management easier than ever for your company.<span id="more-268"></span></p>
<p>An overview of Prophet’s campaign management system.</p>
<p>Prophet is a campaign management and customer relationship management program. Prophet is available through Avidian, a company well known for its leadership with the Prophet program. Companies are often quite surprised at how Prophet’s campaign management is highly efficient, and self supportive. There is not a lot of information that has to go into the Prophet program to regulate campaign management. It is important, however, that campaign management should have as much information as possible about a company. The more information that is proved to a company from the client, the better off the chances are of the client receiving the best campaign management that is possible.</p>
<p>Maximize sales with Prophet’s campaign management.</p>
<p>Campaign management through Prophet can occur on a variety of levels. For instance, Prophet can create a sales system that can maximize sales for a company. Say, for example, that a company is in sales for paper. With prophet’s campaign management system, a company can notify a client when they feel it is due time for them to order on paper. On the other hand, campaign management can be of great benefit for the dependent as well. Campaign management for the customer can have many tiers of benefits. One example of benefits from a campaign management for the dependents is the regulation of sales. This means that the campaign management will monitor sales within a company, and can easily see which departments need improvement in sales, and which departments have benefited greatly from the campaign management. The overall goal with campaign management for a dependent is to have the most sales as possible. Campaign management is a wonderful tool to keep track of such strategies.</p>
<p>Prophet is a highly effective campaign management system.</p>
<p>Campaign management through Prophet is highly effective. Campaign management with Avidian’s Prophet is effective because it can work both for the client and the company. From a company’s point of view, the campaign management is beneficial as it can assist companies with gaining potential clients and meeting all of the sales needs of clients that they currently have. Campaign management for a company is of the utmost importance, and as such, Prophet’s campaign management software sees to it that it is of the utmost importance to a company, too.</p>
<p>The various items affiliated with campaign management.</p>
<p>There are many items that can be regulated with Prophet’s campaign management program. A client’s address and contact information can be regulated with a campaign management address book. With a few pieces of information given to the campaign management program, such as a company’s physical address, a contact e-mail, and sales goals, there can be a huge campaign management system generated. A campaign management system can be created with Prophet where there are multiple clients that are contacted at once. This version of campaign management is beneficial for those companies that may be selling seasonal items, or are just seeking additional sales as a whole. With Prophet’s campaign management system, the sky is the limit on the amount of sales that can be generated.</p>
<p>The ease of campaign management on Prophet.</p>
<p>Prophet’s campaign management is easy to use. The popularity of prophet’s campaign management is often attributed to this very fact. Prophet can be utilized through Outlook, a program that is already on many computers. Outlook has been an internet program that has been used for many years, and is highly popular in many sales arenas. Due to this, Prophet’s campaign management is something that rival companies truly admire. Prophet has proven with their campaign management time and again that there are maximum sales received from customers and clients alike when in use. The ease of the program, as well as it quick accessibility makes it quite a popular campaign management system.</p>
<p>The popularity of Prophet in the workforce.</p>
<p>Many companies have found that Prophet is the most affordable means for campaign management. Not only is this version of campaign management popular, but it is also highly affordable. Prophet can be an affordable campaign management software program for several reasons. First off, Avidian knows that Prophet is a high quality campaign management system. Due to this, many associations may wonder why the campaign management software is so affordable. This is due mostly in part to the fact that Avidian knows that Prophet is a campaign software program that can’t be beat. As word gets around of its highly effective, yet easily accessible, campaign management, there will be more and more sales of Prophet generated. As such, clientele will be pleased with the campaign management that they are receiving, and tell other companies about it as well. Often times, it is word of mouth that propels the most sales.</p>
<p>Then effectiveness of Prophet’s campaign management.</p>
<p>One of the many reasons that campaign management with Prophet is so highly effective is due mainly in part to the fact that sales reports can be generated and shared with others that can also access the Prophet software. This means, in short, that many people can manipulate a campaign management at any given time. This is highly effective, as workers within the company can help participate in the campaign of a company, and see where there needs to be additional sales added. There is always room for improvement and advertising with campaign management; Prophet’s networking feature is just the key for such items.</p>
<p>An overall summary of campaign management with Prophet.</p>
<p>It has been proven time and again that Prophet is indeed the campaign management system to beat. Prophet has shown that campaign management can be done with ease, whether it is through its accessibility, or with the advancement of sales from its program. Prophet software is not only affordable, but definitely pays for itself with new revenues that are generated from the program. Campaign management has never looked so good as it does now with Avidian’s Prophet software.</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong> </strong></em>Stuart Burns was having a bad day. Not only had he arrived late for the seminar because of the server problem at work last night, he was finding it difficult to concentrate because of the stream of text messages coming in to his cell phone. He couldn&#8217;t bring himself to turn it off just in case something catastrophic was happening back at base so he set it to mute and tried to keep an eye on it while he listened to the presenters. <span id="more-236"></span>Now the effects of his disturbed sleep were catching up on him and his extreme body language shouted that he was in the wrong place.Audiences suffering from information overload will give very clear signals that they are ready for a break. Their eyes start to glaze over, they slump in their seats and when you ask them questions, it is as though you are rousing them from a deep sleep. Bladders may be straining, nicotine and caffeine cravings may be kicking in and vibrating text messages are surreptitiously being viewed. It&#8217;s time to declare an unofficial break! If you push on regardless you may lose your audience completely.</p>
<p>This situation can often happen on hot, humid days when the air-conditioning is underperforming or in windowless rooms where the lack of outside views can have a profound psychological effect on your delegates.</p>
<p>A ten minute unscheduled break in these circumstances can make the difference between success and failure for your event.</p>
<p>Manage the coffee and meal breaks rigidly as a few 5 or 10 minute overruns can soon lose you half an hour from the program.</p>
<p>Managing early departures</p>
<p>It is a fairly frequent occurrence that a proportion of your audience will be unable to stay for the entire event. This is understandable in these times of full schedules and instant communication. The more polite amongst them will forewarn you of this and tender their apologies. Some will make a dash for the door with their heads down and others will mumble an excuse as they walk sideways past the presenter towards the exit.</p>
<p>If you have prior warning, try and sit your early leavers close to the exit even if they have been sitting elsewhere during the event. That way, when they have to take their leave, they can do it with minimum fuss and interruption.</p>
<p>Whichever exit routine your early leavers use, make sure that they have an opportunity to give you some instant feedback before they leave and take the time to thank them for however much time they have been able to spend with you. Their early exit is unlikely to be an insult to your organizational or presentational skills. More likely they have a plane or train to catch, so treat them respectfully.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Stuart was so relieved when one of the seminar administrators approached him during a coffee break to ask if there was a problem. She listened and, promising to book him on the next seminar, helped him organize a taxi.</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong> </strong></em>In a company of 25 people; putting on a marketing event and charging an entry fee could give the event administrator a severe headache. Patricia Thomson was in this position only last week. Her &#8220;normal&#8221; job of Marketing Assistant still had to run while she organized the seminars and she realized she could be handling hundreds of enquiries over the period. This was their first venture into this type of event and the company&#8217;s accounts department was not really set up for a mass influx of small payments.<span id="more-204"></span>The registration and payment procedure that you use should be as professional as you can make it. This fairly small part of the overall event paints a very vivid picture to your delegates of your capability and will be their first evidence of how the whole event experience is likely to be. If you handle this phase flawlessly, you may be excused small hiccups along the way. Make a mess of things here and your delegates will start marking your report card with red ink.</p>
<p>The registration procedure</p>
<p>Take some time with your administrative staff to draw up a detailed process that should be followed consistently by anyone who takes a booking. Please don&#8217;t just hand them a procedure that you have designed because you will end up shouldering the responsibility for any mistakes that are made down the line. If the process is co-owned by everyone involved, they will feel more motivated to change the process to ensure that the same mistakes are not repeated.</p>
<p>A typical procedure will consider all of the following:</p>
<p>• How will bookings be taken?</p>
<p>• By mail</p>
<p>• By phone</p>
<p>• By Email</p>
<p>• Online</p>
<p>• What type of database will the administrators use?</p>
<p>• Spreadsheet</p>
<p>• Paper based system</p>
<p>• Relational database</p>
<p>• If an online booking system is to be used, will it be in-house or outsourced to an organization like mybookingmanager.com?</p>
<p>• If an outsourced online booking system is used how will you synchronize the data and how frequently will you do this?</p>
<p>• Will payments be accepted using bank transfer, credit card, business and/or personal check?</p>
<p>• How frequently will the event managers and the event caterers require updates on booking statistics and delegate details?</p>
<p>Patricia took one look at the checklist and started researching online booking agents immediately. She reasoned that the workload necessary to do a first class job would probably entail bringing in a temp and training him/her to do the job that the online booking agent could handle easily. The cost of having a temp in their already cramped office and the thought of designing a system, training them to use it and finding work for them to do when the phone wasn&#8217;t ringing was already giving her that headache. She also decided that the cach é of being able to offer round-the-clock facilities for credit card booking and also a 24 hour telephone answering service would impress their intended delegates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left; padding: 12px"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/management24.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/management24.jpg" alt="Management Education" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong> </strong></em>Would you trust the life of your loved one when an uneducated person performs a heart surgery or a brain surgery? The answer is obviously a no! Even the government would not allow a person to perform a surgery without a proper degree. In fact, it is very likely that a person who performs surgeries without an MBBS degree will land in prison.<span id="more-228"></span>Then just think about it. How many people are working and putting their livelihoods at stake when the management is run by people with no formal education in management. If you think it is not risky then just imagine the consequences of the failure of the management – the people do not get paid, their family finances, education of their kids and the EMI payment on their dream apartment is all at stake.</p>
<p>A company like Hewlett Packard or Microsoft has lakhs of employees in high paying jobs. So many of their customers are using their technology. If the management is incompetent and not able to perform, then all these people suffer and the impact will be felt across many countries. Then, why both Microsoft and Hewlett Packard did not insist on management degrees for Steve Ballmer and Mark Hurd, who are the CEOs of these companies respectively.</p>
<p>Steve Ballmer discontinued from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and should be having only half-baked ideas of management. Whereas, Mark Hurd is even worse and has only a bachelors degree of business management. He did not even have a postgraduate MBA course.</p>
<p>Peter Drucker, the management guru said, “Management is a practice”. The expertise in management comes only by practicing and getting your hands dirty on the field. Learning, adopting and growing in the process.</p>
<p>The Practice of management is independent of a management degree. Having the degree gives you the theoretical basis for management. However, there is no guarantee that you will be able to perform in real life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let me explain this simply – It is like fast bowling, if someone is given theoretical inputs on how to bowl at 150 kmph in cricket for 14 years. With textbooks, classroom instructions and rigorous tests to check the knowledge on fast bowling. It does not mean this person will actually be able to bowl at 120 kmph. While an uneducated teenager having the right genetics (physique) and used to hard work can quickly be taught to bowl over 120 kmph.  Because, it depends on the ability to exert yourself and some technique that is learned on the playground.</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Introduction</p>
<p>One of the most important aspects of any business is sales. Without sales there is no revenue and without revenue the company ceases to exist. This is why so many executives and managers are focused on generating the most sales possible. One of the tools they are using to do this is sales management software. Sales management software is software that can be used by employees to track and improve their sales and sales opportunities. There are many different types of sales management software available on the market today, but one of the best sales management software is Prophet.<span id="more-274"></span></p>
<p>Prophet sales management software is easy to learn and easy to use.</p>
<p>Obviously one of the things executives and managers take into consideration before purchasing new software for their company or business is how easy the software is to learn and use. Prophet is one of the best sales management software available on the market today that meets both of these requirements. It is so easy to use that many executives and managers who were using competitor brands of sales management software have switched to Prophet sales management software simply because of this. In addition, Prophet sales management software is easy to learn, as most users can learn the software just by using it for a little while. However, Prophet sales management software does offer a tutorial that shows all of its features quickly, so employees can learn what they need to know about the sales management software even faster.</p>
<p>Prophet sales management software works with Outlook.</p>
<p>One of the most popular software programs used for email is Microsoft Outlook, and like most sales management software programs, Prophet works with Outlook and the information within it. Sales management software programs work with Outlook to maintain information on clients, business contacts, and sales opportunities. However, Prophet sales management software differs from its competitors, as it allows information to flow back and forth between the two programs much easier than other sales management software programs. For example, with Goldmine and Act sales management software, information in these programs must match the information in Outlook in order for it to be compatible, but this is not the case with Prophet sales management software. In addition, Prophet sales management software works with more versions of Outlook than any of its competitors.</p>
<p>Prophet sales management software makes adding and changing information easy.</p>
<p>Things are rapidly changing in today’s world, and nothing stays the same. It is important that companies and businesses have sales management software that is flexible and can adapt to these changes. Prophet sales management software does just that through its toolbar located in Outlook. This toolbar allows employees to change and add information with just a click of the mouse. Prophet’s competitors don’t offer this in their sales management software. Instead, employees must open up the sales management software program each time they want to make changes and manually do so. This is not only frustrating, but it makes employees less efficient.</p>
<p>Prophet sales management software is made to be customized.</p>
<p>Companies and businesses aren’t identical, thus the sales management software they use shouldn’t be either. Some information that is important for one organization is not important for another, thus they don’t need their sales management software to track it or include it in reports. Prophet sales management software recognizes this and allows for more customization with their sales management software than any of their competitors. This way businesses and companies can get only the information they want, and should they need to get different information at another time, they can simply change the customization in their sales management software and access what they need.</p>
<p>Prophet sales management software makes sharing information with others easy.</p>
<p>One of the best features of Prophet sales management software is that it is designed to make sharing information with internal and external individuals very easy. Prophet sales management software is the only sales management software to offer peer to peer sharing, which allows information to be easily shared and used by multiple individuals in a company or organization. This is a great feature as most employees work in a team or group and not in isolation as they might have done in the past. Sharing information with individuals outside the company or organization is also easy with Prophet sales management software. Obviously information in the Prophet sales management software program can’t be sent directly to outside individuals as they don’t have the sales management software. However, Prophet sales management software allows you to save, print, and send information to others in a variety of file formats including aspx, PDF, Word, and Excel. This way individuals can view it and use it no matter what software programs they have on their computers.</p>
