ISO/IEC 42010 describes an industry standard conceptual metamodel for architecture descriptions that refers to key elements such stakeholders, concerns, viewpoints, and views.

In this webinar, the speaker will discuss a proven, practical process for exploiting ISO/IEC 42010 using a formal UML profile for modeling the elements of an architecture description.

Starting with identifying architecture stakeholders and the architecturally-relevant scenarios they find themselves in, the session continues with capturing related architecture concerns and how to use them to design an architecture metamodel and then describe the relevant architecture viewpoints.

Finally, the session concludes with how to implement the metamodel as a custom UML profile and how that relates to architecture modeling tool deployment.

Redefining the Legal Services Delivery Model

Against a backdrop of increased regulation, technological advances, and globalization, lawyers both in-house and within private practice are examining their operating models.

Outsourcing of legal work to 3rd party providers onshore and offshore has emerged over the last 5 years as an alternative to the traditional legal services delivery model.

• Should law firms view LPO as a threat or an opportunity?
• What benefits can LPO bring to in-house counsel as they continue to struggle with the “more for less” conundrum?

This session will provide you with an introduction to LPO and discussion around the key ethical and practical considerations together with an overview of LPO case studies highlighting the crucial role of project management in successful engagements.

Topics covered:

• Overview of legal process outsourcing (LPO)
• Key LPO functions and benefits
• Ethical Considerations and Risk Mitigation with LPO
• Key market trends
• Case studies

An organization’s ability to meet project timelines, budgets and especially goals significantly impacts its ability to survive—and even thrive. As they address the urgent need to improve project success rates, organizations are faced with a complex and risky environment.

This includes:

• A “do more with less” economic climate
• Expanding global priorities
• Necessity to enable innovation

The study also revealed that the most crucial success factor in project management is effective communications to all stakeholders—a critical core competency to all organizations. In a complex and competitive business climate, organizations cannot afford to overlook this key element of project success and long-term profitability.

It’s Clear That We Should Be Doing A Much Better Job
Communicating With All Project Stakeholders.

Project communications involves planning and delivering information to all project stakeholders.

This includes:

• Actions needed to best handle timely and appropriate gathering, reproduction, distribution, storage, administration, and control of project content.
• Critical connections between people, thoughts, and content required for success.

The underlying need and core capability required for a well lubricated and functioning project team is effective and efficient communications among team members, and all project stakeholders.

A critical risk to project management is to assume that all communication are functioning properly just because people are talking to one another. Delivering a PMmessage doesn’t make sure that it’s received.

1. The PM owns building, maintaining & handling critical project connections.
2. The responsibility for building and maintaining real communication links falls on the PM.
3. The PM should focus on key project communications areas to make sure to meet organizational goals..

Questions which may be discussed during the live #PMCHAT:

• Successful communication of information.
• Efficient movement of communications.
• Adequate communications across boundaries.
• Proper use of technology.
• Application of a virtual office.
• Carry out effective meetings.
