Project Management for Teams That Start Everything and Finish Little

Practical two-day workshops designed for non-technical teams in Argentina. Learn visual methods that work without complex software.

The Problem

What Happens Now

  • Projects start with enthusiasm but lose momentum
  • Nobody knows who is responsible for what
  • Meetings happen but decisions are unclear
  • Deadlines pass without completion
  • Same mistakes repeat across projects
The Solution

What You Will Learn

  • Define projects so everyone understands the goal
  • Divide work into manageable stages
  • Assign responsibilities without ambiguity
  • Track progress without micromanagement
  • Close projects by evaluating what was learned

Practical Methods, Not Theoretical Frameworks

We teach project management through visual tools and simple practices that teams actually use. No software that requires maintenance. No certifications. No pretense of replacing professional project managers.

Visual Tools

Kanban boards, one-page timelines, and status dashboards that everyone can understand at a glance. Physical or digital, whatever works for your team.

15-Minute Meetings

Structured check-ins that focus on blockers and decisions. No status reports that could be emails. No meetings about meetings.

Clear Responsibilities

Methods for defining who does what without creating bureaucracy. RACI matrices made simple. Accountability without blame culture.

Manageable Stages

Breaking large goals into achievable milestones. Defining done criteria that prevent endless revision. Creating momentum through visible progress.

Progress Tracking

Simple metrics that show if you are on track. Traffic light status systems. Burndown charts that reveal problems early.

Learning Reviews

Structured retrospectives that capture lessons without pointing fingers. Building organizational memory. Improving with each project.

Who These Workshops Serve

Our training is designed for teams in Argentine companies who manage projects but do not have formal project management training or dedicated project managers.

  • Marketing and communications teams launching campaigns
  • Operations teams implementing process improvements
  • HR teams rolling out training programs
  • Administrative teams coordinating cross-department initiatives
  • Sales teams managing client onboarding projects

We work with teams of 8-15 people. The workshops are conducted in Spanish, use Argentine business examples, and address the specific challenges of managing projects in local organizational cultures.
