LPM Requires
Cross-Department
Collaboration
Many firms are dipping their toes into the
legal project management (LPM) stream
without applying proper project management
disciplines to the project's launch and
implementation.
In those cases, the stream can turn into a flood of problems
that can sink an LPM initiative. To keep your LPM program afloat, a firm's
administrative departments must work collaboratively.
