Leading Projects Without Authority

You've been there, right? You've managed a project where nobody on the team reported to you. But what can a project manager do to succeed other than beg borrow or steal in this situation?

This interview with Jeff Kissinger (LinkedIn Profile) was recorded at the superb Project Management Institute (PMI)® Global Conference 2017 in Chicago, Illinois. It is based on his presentation "Leading Without Authority: The Project Manager's Dilemma" and looks at what project managers can do to successfully deliver their projects even in situations where they have little or no authority at all over the people on their project. Here is what Jeff wrote about his presentation:

Leading project teams without direct authority is a dilemma that many project leaders face. Doing this well is an art. And, like art, it’s often practiced using a mixture of skills, techniques, and tools. Attendees will learn how to identify and resolve authority issues quickly that adversely affect their projects and learn how to lead their project teams successfully without direct authority.

Ask Cornelius

Question: I just claimed the 37 PDUs I am able to claim for listening to the Agile PrepCast and with those 37 PDUs, I reached the 60 PDUs I need to renew my Project Management Professional (PMP)®

Status. And that's just one year after I got my PMP® Certification.

So, when should I renew my status? Can I do it now or should I wait until the end of the 3-year-cycle?

Regards,

Florian Hennhoefer
