Social Media is only valuable if it can be monetized and used to contribute directly to the growth of your business. By leveraging social media, you are able to efficiently find and target new people at the point when they are most interested in the information you offer.

I believe that PMs will have an increasing role in Planning and Executing social media projects. Stakeholders will begin to expect due diligence and quantitative measures of success for these projects. Metrics that indicate the success of social media projects were discussed in the ASPE presentation on Building an Electronic Marketing Department. ASPE used both Return On Time (ROT) and Return On Investment (ROI) with their electronic marketing department. These metrics can be difficult to quantify and social media projects will require the skills of a Project Management Professional. – EdmontonPM

Agile recognizes that creating value in today’s environment means adapting not just between projects but within projects.While Agile evolved mostly in software development environments and is often viewed as a software only approach, the need to adapt to create value exists just as strongly in non-software environments.Agile suggests an array of practices consistent with key principles and core values, but it can be difficult to combine the right set of practices to ensure success and a positive start down the Agile path.

This presentation demonstrates specific practices for applying Agile concepts to all sorts of projects. It startes by reviewing the Agile concepts and then provide examples of Agile practices (and tools) applied to both software and non software projects. It will also describe how this particular set of Agile practices (called Commitment-based Project Management – CBPM) evolved at Intel Corp. in the mid-1990’s.

This webinar gives attendees a chance to:

• Learn what it means to be ‘Agile’
• Understand how to apply Agile concepts to all sorts of projects

This is a 1 hour seminar and attendees will be awarded 1 PDU for participating.

Requirements analysis is very often the longest pole in the tent for project work. Business analysts are frequently faced with the challenge of achieving a “faster time-to-market” while still maintaining the quality and thoroughness demanded for a successful project. This is an even more important issue in tough economic times.

One solution is to use visual requirements. This practice can reduce the requirements analysis time by as much as 30% which, in turn, reduces project costs for the effort saved.

Seminar Presenter:

Jerry Jacobs is a lead business analyst with more than 25 years of IT experience; the past eight years in business analysis. In addition to application development and network administration, Jerry has served as part-time faculty for IT courses and conducted several BA boot camps and workshops. Jerry has developed and implemented a technique for flexible, streamlined requirements elicitation and documentation to match the level of detail to project scope and reduce requirements documentation time. This technique has resulted in savings of 25 to 30 percent of the analysis phase project hours.
