Ways Mentors Can Help

• Coach your staff in project management processes, methods, and best practices to accelerate the effectiveness of major change initiatives that impact the entire organization.
• Pilot a new initiative working side-by-side with one or more of your project managers to apply standard project management practices in a consistent manner.
• Review the status of projects in the portfolio and make recommendations for improved execution through the coaching and mentoring of project managers.
• Identify risks early that could potentially negative impact on the project, and develop mitigation plans.
• Conduct project health checks to identify issues in a timely manner and assist team members in taking appropriate corrective actions when necessary.
• Foster collaborative working relationships and develop a community of project management practitioners.
• Reinforce recent training to ensure concepts from the classroom are put into practice.
• Fill in for an extended period of time during an unexpected absence of the project or program manager.
