Duration: 1 hour webinar Credits: 1 PDU Category A – Free PDU
Sponsored by: PMI INPD CoP (REP #S011)
Presented by: Jesse Fewell, PMP

In this session the Innovation & New Product CoP will examine product development metrics during three different stages of product development.

Look at the metrics such as return on investment (ROI) and net present value (NPV) that are used to select and prioritize the development projects undertaken.

A different set of metrics is used in the execution phase to assess project progress. And finally, at and after the end of the project they discuss taking a look back to see whether the new product is living up to your initial expectations.

Live Webinar June 19th, 2013 – 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EDT
Duration: 1 hour webinar Credits: 1 PDU Category A – Free PDU
Sponsored by: PMI Organizational Project Management CoP (REP #S043)
Presented by: Rania Al-Maghraby

The purpose of this webinar is to survey the SEI’s CMMI model and the PMI’s OPM3 model as being used in appraising organizations based on maturity.

Organizations seeking appraisal of their current maturity, either for internal strategic goals, or for external commercial and trade requirements, will consider basing their maturity assessment and improvement efforts on a global framework which was developed for satisfying these organizational improvement needs.

Most well‐known models currently are CMMI (with several constellations) from the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University, and the Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) from the Project Management Institute (PMI), among other models from other providers.

In this webinar Rania will explore these two models from maturity assessment and improvement point of view. She will highlight differences, and show the applicability of each model, while opposing components and characteristics of each model to clarify how it is intended to be applied in actual use.

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

Presenter: Rania Al-Maghraby, (PMI profile) is PMP® & ITIL® Foundation certified, with an MSc Computer Science. Rania is a certified OPM3® Consultant and Assessor, among only less than 85 certified professionals globally. Rania is the owner and general manager of the OneWayForward Inc, consultation firm based in Egypt and is the founder of EAITSM / itSMF Egypt chapter.
