It’s a Success! Says Who?
The Marriage between Product Development & Project Management

  • When and how do you REALLY know a project is a success?
  • What is needed to improve success?
  • How can project managers better influence the success of projects?

In this talk, Tom Carbone will challenge our ideas about project success concepts.

Tom will examine the dimensions of success measurement and reported success factors. He will provide ideas about planning for success through what he terms “the marriage of project management and product management.”

Attendees will be provided with Tom’s Success Measure Discussion Board, a communication tool to visualize success dimensions for projects. Attendees will gain a broader perspective on success dimensions along with techniques they can use with sponsors and their team members to discuss success planning.

Presenter: Thomas Carbone (PhD, PMP, SSBB) has over 20 years of international project management experience including a global PMO deployment and speaks to audiences  on topics in project management, execution, risk management, operational excellence, new product development, lean, and Six Sigma.  His informative, interactive, and engaging presentations at numerous global conferences and society chapter meetings have been highly praised and regarded.

Many projects use SPI and CPI as indicators for past schedule and cost performance.

However these indices do very little to assess the productivity required to achieve project completion on-time and within budget.

To Complete Productivity Index (TCPI) provides that prediction support and if used, properly can greatly aid in timely decision making.

Learning Objectives for this webinar:

  1. Discuss the short fall of SPI and CPI in predicting project’s future productivity requirements to achieve budgetary goals.
  2. Introduces the concept of required future productivity to achieve project management goals.
  3. Illustrates the use of TCPI in various scenarios.Introduces TCPI BAC and TCPI EAC and their uses.
  4. Recommended uses for TCPI in project management decision making.

This webinar introduces TCPI and illustrates its power and utility through the use of various scenarios.

Presenter: Dale Boeckman, PMP MBA With 20+ years guiding United States government agencies (DoD and DoS) divisions in their strategic planning Dale helped execute projects to successful conclusion. He has always advocated metric based indicators to manage developmental projects and has successfully been able to manage project risk accordingly.
