Live Webinar September 16 2011 – 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Duration: 1 hour webinar Credits: 1 PDU Category A $15 USD
Presented by: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)
Many project teams lack a consistent method of ensuring their business requirements document which identifies the project What’s†is complete before delving into detail design activities, associated with the project solution. Use Cases and User Interfaces should be developed by the business stakeholders prior to finalizing their requirements document.
Both these deliverables are transitional deliverables between defining project What’s and How’s. They provide an alternate way for stakeholders to look at project needs and gain insight into unclear requirements and missing requirements as well as head off potential scope creep.
Learn techniques for expanding business requirements with Use Cases and User Interfaces. Participants learn how to describe intended end user interaction with the system being modified to clarify business needs. They also learn how to describe high level requirements associated with entering, modifying and accessing information in the system being developed.
In this 1 hour live in-depth Webinar participants learn about concepts for:
Defining scenarios which depict how the end users intend to use the project solution
Conducting business driven collaborative Use Case activities identifying actors and their requests, system interactions and normal “happy path†and exception path processing
Drill down business requirements into User Interfaces to finalize types of information associated with the business needs
Generating conceptual graphical Screen Mockups to clarify user interfaces

Wondering if Enterprise-wide Project Management could work in your company?
Concerned about the cost for MS Project Server, the expertise required to run it and the time needed for training and implementation?
Is there some way to do Enterprise-wide Project Management on the cheap?
The answers to these questions are respectively: “almost for sureâ€, “I know what you mean†and “Yes indeed!â€
Enterprise-wide Project Management for Dummies will help you determine if enterprise-wide PM can help your organization, and if so, do you need to go to a full implementation of Project Server or can you do a poor man’s application instead. What type and size organizations can use the non-Server implementation will be discussed, the steps required to implement such an application, and examples of how to set up projects and enterprise-wide resource pools will be shown.
Participants will be able to determine if their organization could go to enterprise-wide project management using the simple data-base capabilities of the standard tool. Suggested steps to take within the organization to prepare for and implement this application will be shared. Some suggestions on how to implement Project Server will also be shared to aid those participants who find their organization cannot use the poor-man’s version.
Target Audience: PMs, Senior PMs, Project Officers in small to intermediate size organizations

Presented by: Training Magazine
Duration: 1 Hour 1 Category C Free PDU
“Social learning” and “informal learning” are among the training industry’s hottest phrases these days. But there’s so much confusion over what they mean, and what they mean to those of us in the business.
A few truths:
Social learning isn’t new.
Social learning isn’t necessarily ‘managed’, ‘launched’, ‘controlled’, or ‘measured’.
People in the workplace are learning all the time – without us.
Those people likely don’t think of what they’re doing as “learning”.
In this session we’ll spend some time looking at real examples of social and informal learning as it happens in workplaces all the time, every day. Along the way we’ll generate some ideas for locating, supporting and facilitating social learning opportunities toward the greater goal of enhancing organizational performance.
