Enhance your organization’s success rates in the execution of portfolios of projects and programs by recognizing and addressing the change components inherent in them.

This session will provide a baseline understanding of the change life cycle framework, how it expands the change management processes already defined in PMI’s foundational standards, and how to apply each of the five major steps of the life cycle to project, program and portfolio management.

PMI has many other resources and tools related to managing change and these will be covered briefly as well. PMI continues to develop change management resources and tools—all to help you deliver better results.

What financial reporting is important? What method should I use?

Sometimes as Project Managers and Business Analysts we may be asked to assist stakeholders, the PMO or others that may have an interest in one of our projects to understand how our project will affect the finances of the organization.

In this free, one-hour web seminar we will see what we have learned in the first portion of this program (www.aspe-sdlc.com/webseminars/#financial-statements) put into action. We will look at several project evaluation techniques to see how they will help, detract or affect the finances of a project’s outcome and the entire organization.

Risks exist on projects because by definition, projects possess uncertainty. Organizations that ignore risks experience reduced project success rates due to the wasted effort and delays that result from dealing with issues.

Risk management methodologies address this challenge but tend to be too theoretical or require significant process discipline or historical data to be practical.

During this webinar you will learn practical, lightweight best practices for managing risks throughout a project’s lifecycle.

Benefits of managing risks through this approach include:

• Improved project predictability
• Improved ROI for your overall portfolio
• Quantification of cost & schedule contingencies
• Reduced effort spent resolving project issues
