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

Managers/Directors of PMOs, Project Managers

Generational Differences Can Affect Organizations

It is important to pay close attention to the dynamics of generational differences.

Research has shown that Millennials have different expectations when it comes to work than the generations before them.

As the generation before them, Gen X, begins to take on the mantle of leadership from the Boomers it’s critical that every aspect of talent management is taken into account to ensure that cross generational communication is clear, efficient, and reciprocal.

This engaging session shares some of the communication frustrations between the four generations currently in the workforce and provide attendees with concrete strategies to more effectively manage multi-generational teams and build a better sense of community in their organizations.

Webcast Highlights:

1.  Agile performance management techniques to improve cross generational communication
2. What kinds of flexible, yet structured workplaces, appeal to all generations and why
3. How to establish an employee-driven culture for young workers and seasoned managers to work best together

Does You Have A Risk Management Program?

In this hour-long webinar, cybersecurity expert  David Willson (LinkedIn profile) will explain why you should.

In light of recent breaches at Target, Nieman Marcus, Michaels, Yahoo, and a growing list of others, we’re learning that FBI Director Mueller was right when he said getting breached is not a matter of if, but when.

While having a risk management program may not prevent a breach, it can certainly lower the risk of one, ensure compliance, and reduce or even eliminate your liability if a breach does occur, enabling you to recover quickly and to protect your reputation.

You will learn:

1. What risk management is
2. What a risk assessment is and how to perform one
3. Why both are important
4. What a risk management program can do for your organization
5. What to include in a risk management program
6. How to train your workforce on a risk management program

Beyond explaining the importance of a risk management program, David will tell you how to implement one, including conducting a basic risk assessment, policies you’ll need, and training your workforce.

Agile project management can bring significant value to an organization’s software projects. But it can also bring a great deal of misunderstanding and confusion for upper level managers used to the governance stage gates of Waterfall.

How do you position Agile to upper level managers when they are looking for the certainty of dates and dollars:

• When is it going to be done?
• How much is it going to cost?

This presentation suggests ways of identifying that combination of scope, schedule, and cost that allows the team to deliver the benefits of Agile while still providing managers with the reliable estimates they want.

Presenter: Dave Caccamo PMP, (LinkedIn profile) has three decades of experience in engineering, economics and project management. With a BSc from the United States Naval Academy and a Masters of Economics from North Carolina State University, Dave has demonstrated time and again his ability to make complex business and engineering concepts understandable to executives, managers and technicians through his fundamental modeling of subject matter.
