Collaborating with SMEs: Strategies to Keep Projects Moving Forward

Working with subject matter experts is essential, but it’s not always easy. They bring deep expertise and often think in technical terms, while you need clear, structured content. Without a good process, bridging that gap can slow down the whole project.
So, how do you create a workflow that works for both sides and keeps projects on track? Join this webinar to find out how to work with SMEs more effectively and keep projects moving.
In this session, we’ll cover:
- How to communicate effectively and manage feedback without delays
- Setting clear expectations and roles so SMEs stay on schedule
- Navigating conflicting priorities and limited availability while building strong SME relationships
Special perks for attendees:
- The session recording
- A certificate of attendance from iSpring
- The webinar slides and other useful resources from Holly
