Formalizing an approach to Blame Management allows project managers to demonstrate the value of more rigorous process in other knowledge areas. Effective Blame Management can also be a career boon to less effective project managers.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Avoiding blame is a topic conspicuously absent from the current PMBOK® Guide, and in this presentation, Payson proposes expanding the existing ten PMBOK® knowledge areas with an eleventh “Project Blame Management” (BM) which he believes formalizes and improves upon something most organizations already do; allocate blame for project failures. Attendees in this session will learn the advantages of a more structured approach to Blame Management:
- Career enhancing benefits of avoiding blame for failure
- Organizational value of ingratiating yourself to senior executives
- Gaining improved team performance through motivation by fear
This talk outlines Payson’s proposal for Blame Management and reviews significant aspects of his proposed “Blame Management Plan” component of the traditional Project Management Plan.
