Pizza Party: A Team-Building Guide

Pizza Party: A Team Building Guide
by Jennifer Bridges

Informal gatherings can be the glue that binds a team together, especially on large-scale projects where team members only see each other occasionally (if at all). Pizza Party: A Team-building Guide helps teams go beyond voice mail, e-mail, and formal status reports to become more productive and collaborative as a group.

Jennifer Bridges, PMP (formerly, Jennifer Whitt) has been training teams to stay motivated and engaged for years, and now she’s created this portable course with the key ingredients to make informal gatherings an important tool in your PM toolkit.
