Thanks to everyone who attended my Feb. 12 Nten webinar on Project Management for Nonprofits, discussing how
nonprofits can make better use of project management techniques to achieve organizational goals.  Some major points on how to establish project management within your nonprofit organization:

1. use a variety of communication techniques
2. don’t use IT terms with non-IT staff
3. find a supporter on business side
4. use agile techniques to split projects into smaller phases
5. educate your organization on how project management techniques will allow it to better meet its goals.

We also discussed Idealware & Aspiration’s recent conference on Managing Nonprofit Technology Projects – see wiki.However, project management is useful for all types of initiatives, not just those involving technology..

Please let me know if you’d like a copy of my presentation.  Thanks to Holly and Anna at NTen for giving me this opportunity to speak.
