Because project management is more a way of thought to approaching a problem than a list of techniques and forms and templates, integrating it into an organization requires the company to change the way it plans and staffs project work. A collaborative workshop is a great way to drive that change. Collaborative planning: Integrates different perspectives into one cohesive Project Plan Creates a common vision of the project for the project team and organizational sponsors Increases confidence in the accuracy of the Project Plan Utilizes best practices in project management
