Fundamentals of Project Management with Tricia Broderick and Michigan Technology Services

A PROJECT MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP CREATED BY THE CO-AUTHOR OF LEAD WITHOUT BLAME: BUILDING RESILIENT LEARNING TEAMS.

Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led Project Management training, as well as Agile and Scrum and Project Management courses, through a partnership with Tricia Broderick.

In a pre-Covid world our training would take place at our location in the Farmington Hills/Novi area, 20 miles outside of Detroit, or at your location anywhere around the world. Our workshops and coaching sessions are now offered both in-person (at our offices or yours) and also online/virtually, reducing your need to travel.

While many educators fly into metro Detroit to deliver Project Management, Scrum and Agile classes at a hotel, and then leave, our core group of trainers and coaches live here, grew up here and/or support the local community. We continue to sponsor regional conferences and meetups. We have successfully run Project Management, Leadership, ScrumMaster and Product Owner courses for multiple teams from globally recognized organizations.

What is the Fundamentals of Project Management workshop?

You often hear about agile teams using an iterative approach to deliver projects and products that are valuable to users.

In this workshop, we will explore agile approaches to project management. Participants will learn how to apply adaptive planning techniques, take an iterative approach to development, and continuously release valuable products.  We will highlight tools and techniques to help project managers balance competing demands and incorporate customer feedback throughout the project life cycle. Participants will learn about the effective delivery of working products into the hands of real customers.

All while discovering new possibilities through learning and laughter.

Workshop Topics (one day):

  • Examine the importance of value discovery in projects
  • Analyze and practice skills for stakeholder management
  • Examine the value of transparency, inspecting and adapting via empowerment and metrics
  • Explore and practice skills for risk and issue management
  • Deliberate practice of adaptive planning and iterative approach to development of valuable products

Student Successes

  • The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

    - SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

  • The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

    - SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

  • I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

    - Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

  • In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students.  It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

    - De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

  • We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
