In Ted Kallman new book, “Flow: Beyond Agile” scheduled for release this fall, Ted and Andrew Kallman share a number of case studies that documents well over US$100 million in value-add using Flow and the Unified Vision Framework.

Using these proprietary frameworks, they increased sales, reduced cost or mitigated risk to accomplish this.

This webinar shares the first case study from the book that is about a project in Singapore that was totally up in flames (projected to be 300% over budget and 2 years past deadline) and no one thought that it could be saved.

In 90 days the project went from impossible to profitable and delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.

They will explain in the webinar how to immediately apply these frameworks in your situation. Join us to learn how to create and sustain Flow!

Presenter: Ted Kallman (LinkedIn profile) is author of The Nehemiah Effect the story of the impossible task of building 4.5-mile wall around Jerusalem in 445 BC and how the project that should have taken years with a huge labor force to complete, was accomplished it with 150 leaders and an enormous volunteer team in 52 days. The book is a roadmap on how to accomplish seemingly impossible goals using a Business Agile framework.

Critical path management facilitates the application of management by exception by focusing the project manager on the critical activities.

Additionally, critical path management enables project managers to identify slips earlier and consequently readjust their schedule without impacting the overall completion date.

Attend this 1 hour presentation to learn how critical path management provides techniques to efficiently monitor and control the project schedule and how managing the critical path can minimize the risk of project overruns.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants will:

• Understand the effects of path convergence and joint probabilities on the critical path
• Learn how to protect the critical path and considerations for corrective and preventive actions to ensure deadlines are met
• Discover recommended schedule assessments when monitoring and controlling your schedule
• Gather practical implementation tips

Seventy percent of all organizational change efforts fail due to miscommunication.

• Do you want to be one of those statistics?
• Are you having trouble getting employees on board during an organizational change?

Employees don’t like change and will typically resist it.

The role of clear communication during an organizational change is imperative for a successful change implementation.

How, when, and who the change is communicated to has a major impact on whether employees will resist or support the change and whether the change succeeds or fails.

This session will discuss how to successfully lead an organization through change by effectively communicating with employees, customers, and stakeholders so that they are excited about the change, see the value of it, and actively participate in making the change successful.

Who should attend:

• Project managers, Portfolio managers,
• Project team members, Project Leads,
• Project sponsors & function/business unit managers,
• Subject Matter Experts, Business Analysts, Scheduling Specialists and ….
• Other business stakeholders.

Benefits from this session:

• Avoid 3 costly communication mistakes that alienate employees
• Utilize best communication practices to gain employee support (WBS)
• Deflect uncertainty and anxiety surrounding organizational change
• Create alignment between organizational culture and the change

Most Agile books are mute about specific roles and skillsets.

• Where does the traditional project manager (PM) fit into Agile projects?
• What does a professional business analyst (BA) do on an Agile team?

The sociological, psychological, and cultural factors that have been known to influence project success was not a part of traditional project management theory (PM-1), also known as the predictive life cycle (and its ugly cousin, the waterfall method).

These factors, implemented through stakeholder management, team dynamics, and organizational culture, are now explicitly included in the next evolutionary step of project management theory (PM-2).

Agile practices, developed concurrently, have unconsciously included some of the implementation of PM-2 in trying to solve the same problem.

Consequently, the more important factors of project success have been identified, and the needed roles of project teams are also clearer.

This presentation will briefly trace the evolution of project management theory and the evolution of Agile practices to show how this melding of theory and practice compares to the traditional approach, and why it produces a more successful project for 21st century software development.

Presenter: Alan Cline (LinkedIn profile) is President at Carolla Development doing USAF Research. With 40+ years in IT, 12 years in agile development, and 20 years as strategic consultant, typically centered around building PMOs and troubleshooting IT organizations, Alan has assessed various clients for compliance to Sarbanes-Oxley, CMMi Level 2 and 3, and ISO 9000 compliances. He is currently leading a corporation toward CMMi Level 2 agile compliance!
