Managing project scope on learning initiatives

Learning projects often start with great intentions—but quickly run into delays, scope creep, and cost overruns. Managing an L&D initiative requires more than just good instructional design—it demands effective project management, strategic stakeholder communication, and disciplined execution.

This hands-on workshop provides practical, proven strategies to help you keep your learning projects on schedule and within budget. You’ll learn how to plan realistically, manage risks, control scope creep, and navigate common pitfalls that derail L&D initiatives. Through real-world scenarios and interactive exercises, you’ll build the skills and confidence to balance quality, efficiency, and cost—without sacrificing learning impact. Whether you lead large-scale training rollouts or small eLearning initiatives, this session will give you the tools you need to deliver learning projects successfully, every time.

Your people will learn how to:

  • Plan learning projects with realistic timelines and budgets, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and available resources.
  • Identify and manage risks early, preventing common issues that cause delays and cost overruns.
  • Control scope creep, so projects stay focused and do not expand beyond initial expectations.
  • Use project management tools and techniques, making it easier to track progress, deadlines, and budgets.
  • Balance quality, efficiency, and cost, ensuring that learning outcomes are met without unnecessary expenses.
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders, managing expectations and keeping decision-makers aligned throughout the project.
  • Troubleshoot and adjust plans as needed, handling unexpected challenges without derailing the project timeline.
