Presented by: Projectplace

NOTE: This webinar is an overview of a Project Software Tool but also demonstrates agile planning techniques.

You’ve heard the saying: “A plan is nothing; planning is everything.” A “project plan” merely illustrates what we know right now and it will need to be adapted continuously to rapidly changing circumstances and lessons learned. In other words, you’re never done with planning.

We strongly believe that the use of simple, fun and engaging tools that encourage ongoing, sufficiently detailed planning rather than up-front, massively detailed schemes actually improve the odds for project success.

In this webinar, you’ll learn more about how Projectplace software can help you. See how you easy, continuous and collaborative ways of “just enough” planning work: from the project’s overall goals to the activities required to meet those goals, even including day-to-day updates, using engaging, transparent, digital Kanban boards.

Presenter: Per Wising, (LinkedIn profile) product owner at Projectplace International, is an experienced product-development manager and well-versed in the various challenges of project collaboration.

Presented by: Eclipse Project Portfolio Management
Duration: 1 hour 1 PDUs Credits: Category C 1 PDU- Free PDU

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) initiatives are expected to provide significant benefit to multiple roles within an organization.

Intuitively, most staff can understand the potential value in the organization, process and technology changes involved with a PPM initiative. However, the lack of change management practices through a PPM initiative’s implementation is one of the most common reasons for their failure. Symptoms of this issue can include poor executive commitment, resistance or political pressure from functional management and compliance issues with project teams.

Eclipse will review common misconceptions about PPM initiative implementations, provide some guiding principles for successful change and detail the steps and key communication messages necessary to gain buy-in from executive and functional management as well as from project teams.

This webinar will also provide tips that can be incorporated into the initiation and planning of your PPM initiative to increase your odds of success.

Change happens. In today’s global world, change happens faster and more frequently than ever and consequently that means projects experience constant change. While rapid response and flexibility are critical to competitive response, stakeholders making that change do not always move at the same speed. Understanding the change process from a behavioral perspective experience will ease the facilitation of that change.

Decades since the early implementation of incremental software development methods, Agile has taken the software industry by storm. Not surprising given that it promotes development, teamwork, collaboration, and process adaptability throughout the entire life cycle of a project.

But problems and confusion continue to exist leading some to claim that Agile is either not scalable or worse it doesn’t work at all. A few of the issues are:

• Senior management struggles to understand what is happening within Agile teams resulting in unintentional interference and bureaucracy that frustrates and slows teams down
• Agile’s focus on the implementation stage skips an important creative process that occurs outside of prototyping or working software
• Too much focus on Agile methodologies has resulted in a loss of the human aspect
• Agile has failed to incorporate the organization as a whole and continues to struggle in finding the balance between agility and accountability

To avoid these issues successful Agile projects require organization-wide Sociocracy to create a structure that involves all members throughout the organization “in the flow” in decision-making, while producing a strong, transparent, efficient decision-making structure.

Join Derwyn Harris, as he shares how to use tools, language, process, and Sociocracy to improve collaboration and expand Agile practices in an organization. This will be a great webinar for all levels of management, including Business Analysts, Product Managers, Developers and Executives.
