Improving organizational Requirements Maturity is a strategic approach to improving project success and aligning IT with the business to meet objectives on time and on budget consistently.

According to the recent IAG BA Benchmark study of 437 large and medium organizations in North America and Europe, the organizational level of Requirements Maturity is directly proportional to the likelihood of project success.

Companies invest millions of dollars in recruitment, hiring, and training of Business Analysts every year without a detailed understanding of the role and how to integrate into the enterprise; the average Requirements Maturity level in North America is only 1.8 on a scale of 1-5, and only a fraction of those measured qualified at a level 3 or higher.

For individual and organizations that are serious about improving in a consistent and measurable way, IAG will explain the key concepts and results you can expect by improving organizational Requirements Maturity

Learning Objectives:

1. The impact of requirements maturity on overall business and project objectives.
2. The Requirements Maturity Model.
3. A high level roadmap to improving requirements capabilities.

Global teams are a complex mixture of individual personalities and skills, cultural values and diverse work styles. Making these teams effective is an important and highly visible corporate objective in most organizations.

With the growth of these teams and the increasingly challenges they face, the opportunity for failure lays around every corner. Although technology makes the creation of global teams possible, cultural diversity makes them both the vital component in a global organization and the difficult cultural challenge they have proved to be.

In the following webinar we will cover the eight most common cultural mistakes in virtual teams you should be able to recognized and avoid.

With the complexity of working with people who live in different countries, come from various cultures, have different notions of collaboration and work, it’s no wonder that the failure rate can be very high.

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

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.

Who should attend this webinar?
C-Level Management, IT Directors and Managers or Directors of PMOs
