Value may be the most overused word in presentations. And for good reason. Delivering business value is what a project is about.

But what about the value left behind?

• What if we should have delivered twice as much or even ten times as much?
• Who is monitoring what’s left behind?
• How can we measure the impact of a decision on value delivered AND on value left behind?

What if the value left behind represents a greater opportunity that dwarfs any potential gain from improving individual project delivery.

The Value Triple Constraints (VTC) is a simple concept. It helps to:

1. Measure value delivered;
2. Estimate value left behind;
3. Optimize project sequencing;
4. Evaluate total impact of scope changes.

Angelo will explore how the function of the PMO can be revitalized with the use of the VTC in identifying Programs and Portfolios that more accurately reflect strategic business intent.

The Value Triple Constraints :

• Helps us to truly use projects to deliver measurable value by thinking outside the project in addition to executing inside the project.
• Expands the role of project thinking and connects projects directly to an organization’s strategy.
• Provides a new role for the PMO as a Performance Management Office, an enabling role as compared to one of control & compliance role.
• The Value Triple Constraints is a valuable tool for the business manager, the project manager, and the PMO.

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.

Let’s face it: traditional software development methods haven’t had great success applied to the world of SharePoint. Full-blown requirements gathering, detailed systems design, and extensive test plans seem out of place in the rapid and configurable world of SharePoint—after all, SharePoint is supposed to enable rapid, easy provisioning of sites to end users, right?

In this web seminar, you’ll dig deep into how joint application development and rapid application development methods can be applied to SharePoint to not only speed up the development process, but deliver higher quality, more successful sites as well.

Some key topics covered include:

• Overview of agile SharePoint development
• Introduction to JAD/RAD methodology
• Using JAD/RAD methods to improve requirements gathering for SharePoint

Presenter: Joe Shepley (LinkedIn profile @joeshepley) PMP is the Vice President and Practice Leader at Doculabs in the Greater Chicago Area. He specializes in several areas including SDLC (software development life cycle) methodologies, ITIL (V3 Foundation), Project Management, and most importantly Microsoft SharePoint.

Las estadísticas muestran que dos de cada tres proyectos tienen dificultades para lograr los tres criterios de éxito siguientes: culminado a tiempo, con un costo final real por debajo o cercano al presupuesto, y cumpliendo con el cien por ciento de los requerimientos.

Esta presentación técnica muestra un nuevo enfoque para gerenciar proyectos, basado en Resultados y Valor Agregado. El propósito de la presentación es el de motivar a las organizaciones, empresas comerciales y personal de proyectos en general, a introducir cambios en la forma en la que se manejan los proyectos actualmente.

Este nuevo enfoque combina el concepto de Resultados de Proyectos con una aplicación simplificada del Valor Agregado, con la idea de planificar y controlar la ejecución de proyectos de manera más objetiva, efectiva ypro-activa,independientemente del tamaño, complejidad o tipo de proyecto.

La presentación comienza destacando una realidad de la gerencia de proyectos, las prácticas utilizadas actualmente, nuevas tendencias y oportunidades de mejoras, que están detrás de esa realidad. Las técnicas de gerencia de proyectos involucradas en este enfoque son las siguientes: Resultados de Proyectos, Plan de Trabajo, Plan de Desembolsos, Valor Agregado, Cronograma Ganado y Medición del Desempeño. Estas técnicas son presentadas a través de un estudio de caso o proyecto genérico.

Finalmente, los beneficios de implementar este nuevo enfoque se destacan con el objetivo final de incrementar la probabilidad de éxito y la tasa interna de retorno de los proyectos en general, y a su vez, facilitar la implementación del Valor Agregado y del Cronograma Ganado a nivel mundial.
