Now, Peter has teamed up with Workfront and Project Manager Today to bring you this inspiring webinar.
In the world of enterprise work, a nightmare storm of mayhem and burnout has become “the norm” while efficiently planned work and managed resources are more like a dream. Right now, many workers feel overwhelmed and overworked due to ad hoc requests, endless emails, unproductive meetings, and long hours. To make matters worse, the demand to get work to market faster and better than ever before is always increasing. It’s essential that workers have the right tools and know-how on their side to manage the speed and quality that’s expected from them.
The good news is that there are strategies that can alleviate the chaos and bring fun and productivity back to work. Overcoming the challenges associated with resource planning and defining how better scheduling helps to connect the right work to the right people is essential for this to happen.
In this webinar you will learn:
Improve visibility into your team’s workload and gain clear access to each project and resource.
Plan effectively by implementing a visual representation of work to help you understand the bandwidth of each team member.
Search for and find the ideal resource scheduling tool to help you contour hours, easily swap users and roles, provide confidence, and so much more.
