This practical four hour online workshop provides participants with some key steps and techniques to help them avoid overcommitting, which not only represents one of the key sources of stakeholder frustration but also is a major cause of analyst stress and discontent.

Through a combination of theory, examples and exercises participants are introduced to practices and tools to help them effectively plan and manage their workloads whilst also managing stakeholder expectations. Topics covered include:-

• Why do we over commit ourselves?
• Understanding Capacities
• Being Assertive
• Transparent planning
