Veel bedrijven maken gebruik van zowel klassieke projectmanagement methodieken zoals PRINCE2® als van Agile methodieken zoals Scrum. Uit de ervaringen die Lagant Management Consultants heeft opgedaan, blijkt dat deze twee methodieken niet goed samen gebruikt worden. De nieuwe methode “Agile Project Management” van APMG-International biedt een pragmatische oplossing voor deze problemen.

Het webinar zal gepresenteerd worden door Jeroen Ykema, geaccrediteerd AgilePM en PRINCE2 trainer en Certified Scrum Master bij Lagant Management Consultants. Naast AgilePM is Lagant tevens geaccrediteerd voor het geven van PRINCE2, MSP® en P3O® training.

Establishing a PMO (Project/Program/Portfolio Management Office) is considered to be a best practice approach to improving the value an organization can receive from its project investments.

Why is it then, that a study, conducted in 2005, of 750 organizations worldwide indicated that over 75% of organizations that set up a PMO shut it down within three years because it did not demonstrate any added value?

Solution Q invites you to attend a webinar where you will learn key reasons why so many PMOs fail, and gain some valuable knowledge of the critical success factors required to ensure the survival of your PMO.

Who should attend this webinar?
Managers/Directors of PMOs, Project Managers

There’s no question that “social” is a hot trend in the enterprise. But, what’s the business value, especially for product development?

Social Media For Social’s Sake Is Worthless

CIOs, product managers and executives must go beyond the hype to understand how social technologies improve processes and drive results.

• How do you deliver great products and services consistently?
• How do you best manage the ongoing, real-time communication and decisions that occur within the development process among stakeholders, partners and customers?

Product development is a complex, mission-critical function of organizations and it demands greater collaboration with everyone involved, beyond the engineering team. The most successful companies will be the ones that best capitalize on the collective genius of their organizations to deliver products to market faster, cheaper and with higher quality.

Join executives from Jama Software and their guest Forrester Research as they share research, strategies and real-world examples on how enterprise social technologies are reinventing product development and delivery processes to meet business needs.

Topics covered:

• Measuring the business value and viability of social technologies
• Improving product development and delivery processes with better collaboration
• Gaining real efficiencies through faster decision making
• Structured collaboration and communication in complex products
• The power of context, understanding the “why” is as important as the “what” and the “how”
