A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Overview Webinar

The creation of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for a project is often a misunderstood if not a daunting project activity.

Project teams often misunderstand the purpose and uses of the WBS confusing it with the Project Plan or Project Schedule.

The WBS and the Project Schedule do have a relationship, but they are not interchangeable deliverables.

During this Solutions Cube Group webinar: De-Mystifying The WBS, attendees will gain an understanding on the characteristics of a WBS and understand how this project deliverable is vital blueprint for reducing project failures associated with missed or misunderstood project requirements.

Solutions Cube Group’s webinars address many relevant project issues and close the gap between project theory and practical application.

In this overview level recorded Webinar participants learn about:

• Characteristics of well defined Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
• The relationship between a WBS and a Project Schedule
• Methods for progressively elaborating on the content in the WBS
• Components that help ensure the WBS developed for the project is complete
• Clearly differentiating between “What” outcome is being built as a result of the project versus “How” to build it

Join them for this presentation and learn about the uses of the Work Breakdown Structure and how to ensure it clearly represents the full scope of the project effort.

A key component of SharePoint Server 2013 is Business Process Automation, taking the repetitive daily tasks business users are presented with and configuring SharePoint to handle them.

In this webinar Andy Huneycutt (LinkedIn profile) will take a look at Visio Professional 2013 and the Visual Designer in SharePoint Designer 2013 for custom workflow solutions.

Working with Visio, both business users and power users alike, can create powerful solutions to many business problems using a visual interface.

Once the workflow process is mapped out in Visio, its exported to SharePoint Designer and can then be published to a SharePoint site.

In this webinar Andy will cover:

• How Visio stencils are used for workflow actions, conditions, and terminators
• How these stencils relate to workflow actions and conditions
• How Stage shapes use actions and branching logic
• How Loop shapes are applied
• The process of creating, exporting, configuring, and implementing a Visio based workflow in SharePoint 2013

In the past, success of a project was measured based on its ability to deliver a quality scope on time and within budget.

Although these factors are important to consider and control as a project progresses they are not a true measurement of the success of a project.

A project can only be considered successful if that project delivers the predetermined business value to the customer.

When we look at project success in this light, businesses will make better decisions about which projects to execute and project managers will focus on what is important as their team delivers value.

Delivering business value to the customer
Is the most important aspect of project management.

Through the use of story and real life examples this practical session will help solidify your resolve to be a successful project manager by focusing on delivering value to your customers and business.

You will also learn the five steps to delivering business value and how to apply those steps to your future projects.

Presenter:  Mark Phillipy PMP (LinkedIn Profile, @SensiblePM), is a seasoned IT Professional with over 26 years experience including over 16 years as a project manager. Mark is known on-line as The Sensible Project Manager (SensiblePM) where he blogs about project management and hosts the Sensible Project Manager Podcast and the Sensible Project Manager Hangout on Google+. Mark is also serving as the VP of Programs in the Inland Northwest PMI Chapter.
