“Found good common ground to address principles in any field”
About signing up for the Workshop
What was your overall experience of the engagement with ProjectManagement.co.za before the Workshop?
Responsive, friendly and very helpful in providing background information on course structure. | Great communication and I appreciated the personal research to establish focus areas. | Friendly help and assistance by Sam. | Fantastic, prompt, helpful, personable. | Professional. | Good. Sam was my contact and she kept me in informed etc. via WhatsApp and email. | Outstanding service from Sam. | Very accommodating and also considerate towards my specific dietary requirements.
What made you choose this Workshop instead of other learning options?
Advertisement on Facebook and prompt response. | Collaboration within my environment of interest and team involvement and interaction. | Price was good. Workshop was over a weekend so it didn’t impact on work. | The content seemed to be more agile. It placed PM in a larger context of organizational success and also includes a personal component. | Over a weekend – my time and he ost was worth me learning. | More practical. | It was a class setting and not computer based.
About the learning materials
What did you think of the workbook?
Creative and less daunting, allows for better processing and less overwhelming. | Fun and dynamic. | Loved the way the content was shared as it was entertaining and made understanding of the work easier. | Very unique in that it’s tailored. Really liked handwritten style and pictures. | I can’t bark too much about that. | It is a lot to get through and because of different industries not always clear what would work for you, but doable. | Very engaging + inactive. Authentic. | Overall very good.
What could be improved?
Perhaps a list of helpful resources (books, sites, articles etc). | Font may be slightly difficult to read.| Nothing. | Two days might not be long enough. | Try and get participants from more or less the same industry in teams, if possible. | Some parts are just images. I feel that maybe a small note to explain the diagram could be helpful in understanding it.
Did you find the quizzes helpful?
Yes. | Very helpful especially that they read worked through with us. | Definitely. Athough daunting, as questions required more than just straight forward answers. | Yes. | Yes. | Yes. | Yes. | Yes.
About the facilitator
What did she do well?
Great speaker, approachable, great at reading stories. Found good common ground to address principles in any field. | 5 star!!!! Super fun and amazing!! Beautiful personality. | She shared real ife examples which made understanding the theory easier, also she didn’t spoon feed us but allowed for critical thinking to take place. | Everything, loved her practical examples and storytelling approach. extremely professional but warm. | She kept using real life examples to keep me interested. | Explains well, like her use of real life examples. | Presentation – spoke well. She had product knowledge. | She is very knowledgeable and able to engage with her audience. The real life project management stories also gave me a better perspective of the role of a PM.
What could she do better?
Not a single thing. | Drawings of donkeys. | Not sure with the time constraint. Could have a handout of important terms etc., as it is not easy writing, listening and trying to participate. | Perfect as is.
