STORYTELLING

Definition as per the OED:
storytelling. (stɔːritelɪŋ ) also story-telling.
uncountable noun. Storytelling is the
activity of telling or writing stories.
2

What is storytelling?
3
Storytelling is the conveying of events in words
and images, often by improvisation or
embellishment. ... Crucial elements of stories and
storytelling include plot, characters, and narrative
point of view.

Applications in project
management are:
4
- Social media dissemination: storytelling for dissemination efforts through Images
and Written posts.
● Written: Storytelling is by far the most effective way to market your ideas
in an appealing way: “How you tell your project’s stories makes a difference
in how it is perceived”
● Pictures (instagram): a picture is worth a thousand words! Every picture tells a
story. It can be an intimate moment captured and used to portray a close
partnership. Or it can be a graphic picture to tell the story of the need your
project has in society and why it has worth.

Applications in project
management are:
5
- Project writing Being able to convey a story of what your project will be
and where you intend to take it through the planned collaboration, to the
evaluator as it would add comprehension value as well as a coherent and
cohesive timeline.
- Project planning: Mission, Vision and Values. When developed as a
story, will help paint a picture to your stakeholders and beneficiaries of
what the project and its objectives are and where it intends to go both
short and long term.

The art of the pitch is all about
storytelling!
6

Storytelling techniques can be:
7
1 Immerse your audience in a story.
A well-told story is something that will stick in your audience’s mind for years to come. every word and
image presented helped to create a clear mental picture of the problem
2 Tell a personal story.
Few things are as captivating as a personal story, especially those of triumph over extreme adversity.
3 Create suspense.
“What will happen next?”

Storytelling techniques can be:
8
4 Bring characters to life.
Characters are at the heart of any story. Their fortunes and misfortunes are what make people want to
laugh, cry or rejoice.
5 Show. Don’t tell.
Instead of telling your audience about a certain event in a story, try showing them by transporting them to a
scene.
6 Build up to a S.T.A.R. moment.
Similar to a climax, a S.T.A.R. moment is a “Something They’ll Always Remember” event that is so dramatic
that your audience will be talking about it weeks later.
7 End with a positive takeaway.
the most effective presentations not only had a conﬂict and a climax, but also a positive resolution.

WHENEVER I’M ABOUT TO DO ANYTHING INTERESTING

SO BY ALL MEANS, KEEP DOING
YOUR JOB IF YOU FEEL YOU MUST

BUT
I WILL ALSO BE DOING MY JOB

WHICH IS TO WORK HARD AND STAY FOCUSED

THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE MINIVAN FOR ALL
OF US

SO MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME

CREATIVITY AND I ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO WILL BE MAKING ANY DECISIONS
ALONG THE WAY

I RECOGNIZE AND I RESPECT THAT YOU’RE PART OF THIS FAMILY

I WILL NEVER EXCLUDE YOU FROM OUR ACTIVITIES

BUT YOUR SUGGESTIONS

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE A

BUT YOU ARE

YOU DON’T GET TO TOUCH
THE ROADMAPS

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SUGGEST DETOURS

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO FIDDLE WITH THE TEMPERATURE

DUDEYOU ARE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO CHOOSE

YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN TO DRIVE

HOW OUR ATTITUDES
TOWARDS MISTAKES
CAN DERAIL OUR
ABILITY TO LEARN

THESE MISTAKES

THESE
MISTAKES

CELEBRATED

THE CHILDLIKE APPROACH TO LEARNING
1. TRY IT
2. CRASH/FALL
3. CELEBRATE MISTAKE
4. LEARN FROM IT
5. DO IT AGAIN

THE SHIFT
● CELEBRATING MISTAKES
● MAKING LOTS OF BIG MISTAKES
● SEEKING OUT MISTAKES

THE SHIFT
● PUNISHING MISTAKES
● FEELING ASHAMED OF MISTAKES
● AVOIDING SITUATIONS WHERE WE MIGHT
MAKE MISTAKES

THERE ARE
TWO SOURCES
THAT DRIVE
THE SHIFT

SOURCE #1
FEEDBACK● HOW WE LOOK
● ABILITY PRAISE
● “YOU MUST BE SMART”

INSTEAD OF WORRING ABOUT
HOW WE LOOK
WE NEED TO FOCUS ON
THE PROCESS ( PUTTING IN
MORE EFFORT+ TAKING ON THE
CHALLENGE)

PEOPLE THAT TAKE
CARE ONLY ABOUT
HOW THEY LOOK
BECAME
FRUSTRATED
GAVE UP EARLY
PEOPLE THAT FOCUS ON
THE PROCESS
ENJOY IT
WORK HARD
WORK LONGER

SOURCE #2
LIZARD BRAIN
Purpose : Safety & Survival
Occupation: Fear Producer

LEARNERS
Treat every situation
as an opportunity to
grow
With this approach...
they learn (a lot)
LIZARDS
Miss out on learning
opportunities because
they are so worried
about how they look

CAN YOU HANDLE THE UGLY THAT COMES WITH LEARNING?

CAN YOU LOOK AT A MISSED
SHOT, WRONG ANSWER, OR A
LOW TEST SCORE AS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GROW - AS
SIMPLY A STUMBLE OR FALL
OFF OF THE BIKE?

IF YES….

Project Management Life Cycle

Every morning in Europe, a PM wakes up. It knows it must
run faster than the fastest EVALUATOR or it will be killed.
Every morning an EVALUATOR wakes up. ... It doesn't
matter whether you are an EVALUATOR or a PM: when the
sun comes up, you'd better be running.

INITIATING PLANNING EXECUTING

CONTROLLING CLOSING

PROJECT IDEA
A PEN WITH AN ANTI STRESS ON THE CAP

1. Initiating: Defining what needs to be done
● Take a loose brief of a project and define it in terms of what it needs
to do and achieve in order to be successful
● Identifying the project stakeholders and making sure they all share
the same perception of what the project is and agree on the
business case
● To conduct adequate research to determine the goals of the project,
and then propose a solution to achieve them
1. INITIATING

Key project management steps for initiating a project:
Make a Project Charter – What is the vision, objective, and goals of this project?
Identify the High-level Scope and Deliverables – What is the product or service that needs to
be provided?
Conduct a Feasibility Study – What is the primary problem and its possible solutions?
Ballpark the high-level Cost and create a Business Case – What are the costs and benefits of
the solution?
Identify Stakeholders – Who are the people this project affects, how, and what are their
needs?
1. INITIATING

THE LION METHODOLOGY
Taking your central theme or topic:
Write down everything you currently know about the subject.
Write down what you need or want to know the subject, but I don't
know at the moment.
Think about why the subject is important.
Add something else that you like

2. Planning phase: Defining how to do, what needs to be done
-where you define all the work to be done and create the roadmap that you follow
for the remainder of the project
-you figure out how you’re going to perform the project and answer the questions
-what’s Possible, Passionate, and Pervasive?
2. PLANNING

Possible – strive for something that is achievable. Ask yourself, does this
solution match the budget? Does my team have the ability to do this?
Passionate – Projects are tough, so you want a team that is emotionally
engaged in the project. Ask yourself, Is this a project that your team can be
passionate about? Is it something that can bring them together to collaborate to
achieve the same goal?
Pervasive – Does this have the potential to become a ground-breaking
success? Is this something that is a complete solution to the problem that was
given to you or is it really just a band-aid temporary or partial solution?
2. PLANNING

Key project management steps for planning a project:
Create a Project Plan
Create a Financial Plan
Create a Resource Plan
Create a Quality Plan
Create a Risk Plan
Create an Acceptance Plan
Create a Communication Plan
2. PLANNING

3. Executing: Making a project happen
it’s where planning gets turned into action
everyone jumps in to perform the work identified in the plan.
Easy peasy.
3. Executing

Key project management steps for executing a project:
Team Leadership – Cast a vision for success and enable the team to deliver on it
Creating Tasks – Clearly define what needs to be done and the criteria for the task
Task Briefing – Ensuring the team are clear about what they need to do, by when
Client Management – Working with the client to ensure deliverables are acceptable
Communications – Ensure you’re informing and updating the right people at the right time
through the right channel
3. Executing

4. Monitoring & Controlling: Keeping a project on track
as a project manager, you report performance, and monitor and control the project
ensuring you capture the data (usually derived from timesheets and tasks
completed) to track progress effectively against the original plan
taking the data and comparing the task completion, budget spend and timeline
allocated in the original plan
4. MONITORING & CONTROLLING

Key project management steps for monitoring and controlling a project:
Cost & Time Management – Review timesheets and expenses to record, control and track
against the project’s budget, timeline and tasks
Quality Management – Reviewing deliverables and ensuring they meet the defined acceptance
criteria
Risk Management – Monitor, control, manage and mitigate potential risks and issues
Acceptance Management – Conduct user acceptance testing and create a reviewing system,
ensuring that all deliverables meet the needs of the client
Change Management – When the project doesn’t go to plan, managing the process of
acceptable changes with the client to ensure they’re happy with necessary changes
4. MONITORING & CONTROLLING

5. Closure: Ending a project
To discuss the strengths and weaknesses or the project and team, what went
wrong and what didn’t go so well, and how to improve in the future
To recognize and acknowledge valuable team members and celebrate the
successes.
5. CLOSURE

Key project management steps for closing a project:
Project Performance Analysis – Were there unforeseen risks? What issues arose and how well
were they dealt with? Has the project plan been changed, and how?
Team Analysis – Did everyone do what they were assigned to do? Were they passionate and
motivated enough? Did they stay thorough and accountable? Was the communication within the
team healthy and constructive?
Project Closure – Document the tasks needed to bring the project life to an official end. This
includes closing supplier agreements, signing off contracts and handing in all the necessary project
documentation.
Post-Implementation Review – Write down a formal analysis of successes and failure, and resulting
lessons learned and suggestions for the future. At the end of every successful project, you will learn
that room for improvement always remains
5. CLOSURE

... concisely, saying only the essentials.

IMPORTANT TIPS...
GENDER
Participation of women and contribution to equality.
PARTICIPATION
Involvement of the target population, whose interests
have to take precedence over those of the entity.
INTERCULTURALITY
Collect the cultural diversity of our environment, both in
the Project development as in its results.
SUSTAINABILITY
The project must be feasible and must
be able to continue after the help ends.
ENVIRONMENT
Respectful with the environmental
aspects
EUROPEAN
Why do you need to make it at
european level?

1.TITLE
A) Name. The project must have a name and must be attractive. It is convenient that it be short and easy
to pronounce.
B) Cover. It's the business card: it's important take care of your aesthetics and must be clear and light.
You must include at least these three elements:
the name of the project, dates and institutions they promote it.

2. DESCRIPTION
Before (or at the end) addressing the project in depth it is necessary make a brief description as a
presentation.
Should show its purpose and its general characteristics, it must be brief and include the following
aspects:
- the idea and the main objective;
- the content of the intervention;
- the beneficiary population;
- the expected result.

3. JUSTIFICATION
● IDENTIFY THE NEEDS (PROBLEMS)
● INCLUDE REAL DATA ABOUT THE SITUATION
● INCLUDE IMPACT AND RESULTS
● INNOVATION?
Is the most literaly text of the draft. Your reading should be understandable and attractive.
Must carefully write and achieve a well-constructed text that combines the emotion that drives
change with technical part.

4. INSTITUTIONAL
FRAMEWORKORGANIZATION RESUME
Present the organization and partnership (mission, experience, common work,
methodology, human resources…)

5. OBJECTIVES
● WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE. DEFINE IT. SPEND YOUR TIME HERE
● USE THE INFINITIVE VERBS
EXAMPLES
“To f ight against inequalities between men and women…”
“To make known the reality in which people live impoverished countries..”
“To offer a permanent care service for immigrants…”

GENERAL
OBJECTIVES
Define what you
want to achieve; it is
the last end, the
mission of draft.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Define what they want
to achieve
for the beneficiaries,
and indicate the way
in which we will
achieve the general
objective.
OPERATIONAL
OBJECTIVES
They express what is
expected to be
obtained at the end of
the project, defining
how to achieve the
specific objectives.
They have associated
indicators whose
function is to measure
the results achieved.

6. TARGET PEOPLE
IF IS A GROUP: AGE, WHERE THEY LIVE, STUDY LEVEL, JOB SITUATION...
Direct: the benefits directly from
the project.
Indirect: people who indirectly
impact the benefits of the project.
the sons and daughters of
these women.
women that suffer abuse by
their partners.

7. Physical location and territorial
scope.
CONCRETE PLACE (THE FIRST) AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA (THE SECOND)
EXAMPLE: WE WILL DEVELOPE THE PROJECT IN LOS ANGELES DE SAN RAFAEL BUT WE WILL
ATTEND WOMEN FROM ALL THE RURAL AREA OF MADRID
PHYSICAL LOCATION: LOS ANGELES DE SAN RAFAEL
TERRITORIAL SCOPE: RURAL AREA AROUND LOS ANGELES

8. Activities and tasks.
Activity is each of the actions carried out to the achievement of an objective.
Tasks, each of the functions necessary for the development of an activity.
EXAMPLE:
Activity: association presentation party
Task: send invitations, put up posters, put music….

9. Methodology
It is about the way, the procedures and the techniques that we are going to use to develop the project. So, we have
to explain how are we going to carry out the intervention, what protocols let's continue, what tools are we going
to use, what kind of relationships we will establish, etc.
Choose the most convenient and explain it

10. Work calendar and activities
INDICATE THE WORK PLAN STEP BY STEP
It is interesting to present it graphically so that they can be quickly and easily visualize execution times.
We call this graph a chronogram.

11. Project administration
● Internal Organization (Mission, Team, Workflow, Meetings…)
● External Coordination (partnership, how and when you meet them…)
● Promotion and dissemination (how to reach public…)
● Participation (target groups)
The ways of financing the project and its capacity for self-management and continuity according
to sustainability criteria.
Is enough to express the essential. Too much detail can be confusing. In some case you can add an
annex

12. Resources needed
1. Human Resources (Team)
2. The material and technical resources (facilities,
machinery…)
3. Monetary Resources (Cofinancing, own resources, salaries…)

13. Budget
Human resources: expenses incurred by people hired and voluntary: salary costs, allowances,
insurance, training, etc.
Material resources: expenses in material, technology and infrastructure, rentals, purchases, etc.
Monetary resources: expenses for aid, scholarships, etc. that we are going to grant to the groups with
the that we work
Indirect expenses: management expenses such as advice, etc. (7%-10%)
Unforeseen and miscellaneous: expenses derived from unpredictable factors. A reasonable amount is
around 5%.

14. Evaluation
- the effectiveness,
● the level of achievement of the objectives
● the target people we have reached,
● the results obtained,
● the interventions carried out and the satisfaction of the people;
- the efficiency, or the relationship between results obtained and resources used. It can be efficient (get
what is proposed), or not efficient (if the cost is very high). A project will be more efficient if it achieves
the same results with less cost in time, money and resources.

14. Evaluation
INDICATORS
1. QUALITATIVES (inclusion of new agents, participantion of a target group in social exclusion
situation, show a new problem…)
2. QUANTITATIVES (Number of participants, activities…)
You need to put what kind of indicators you will use, people, outputs and activities you will evaluate, tools
you will use and when as how many times you will evaluate its.

15. External factors
RISK
PREVENTION

EXTRA TIPS: COMMON ERRORS
-NOBODY READS THE PROJECT EXCEPT YOU
-TO MANY THINGS ARE OBVIOUS TO YOU BUT NOT EXPLAINED
-THE PROJECT IS WRITTEN ONLY BY YOU WITHOUT PARTNER SUPPORT
-THE OBJECTIVES DO NOT MATCH WITH THE RESULTS AND PRIORITIES
- THE IMPACT IS NOT MEASURED
-NOT INNOVATIVE

CRAZY EIGHT GAME
● TAKE YOUR PAPER AND FOLD IT INTO EIGHT
SECTIONS
TITLE - OBJECTIVES - TARGET - ACTIVITIES - PROMOTION
METHODOLOGY - EVALUATION - RESOURCES
● SET THE TIMER FOR 10 MINUTES
● EACH TEAM MEMBER SKETCHES ONE IDEA IN EACH
RECTANGLE
● WHEN THE TIMER GOES OFF, PUT YOUR PENS DOWN
