Microservices are taking the software engineering world by storm.

This architectural style of decomposing applications into network-based services has been credited with increasing software delivery speed and improving scalability and resiliency at leading companies like Amazon and Netflix.

With all the buzz around microservices, many organizations are jumping in with both feet.

However, to succeed with a microservice architecture in the long run, you’ll need to deal with the increasing complexity of your microservice-based software system as it grows.

Taking a design-based approach from the outset will help you scale up more smoothly and establish a sustainable implementation.

Learn the design principles, architectural practices and organizational considerations that will help you succeed with microservices over the long term.

You’ll walk away from this discussion with ideas and guidelines that will help you reap the benefits of a microservice architecture while avoiding its potential pitfalls.

A Simple Path To Powerful Leadership

Managers and leaders find themselves stuck in three vicious circles. They’re frustrated by teams who have become overly dependent on them.

They’re overwhelmed by the amount of work they have to do. And they’re disconnected from their own great work – the work that has impact, the work that has meaning.

Sound familiar?

Breaking out of these vicious circles is simpler than you might think.

Mastering five essential questions can help managers and leaders increase the focus, courage and resilience they need to have more impact in the work they do.

In this practical, interactive and engaging webcast, you will:

• Discover the three vicious circles that keep managers – and their teams – stuck
• Understand how breaking out of these circles can help them work less hard and have more impact
• Learn the five core questions they need so they (and those they lead) can focus on the work that matters
• Hear the best coaching question in the world (and it has just three words)

Participants will not only leave with a plan to do things differently, but will also get access to a special Box of Crayons report: Four Surprising Phrases to Supercharge Your Conversation and Boost Your Manager IQ.

This webcast is based on Michael Bungay Stanier’s acclaimed book
The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever.

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

Project management is not operations, there are many things that are not routine and to be treated as if it were production.

However, that is not entirely true. Often industry and disciplines have certain core routines and processes that are employed to reach the organization’s objectives.

Those core routines and processes also apply to project management.

In this webinar Jon Quigley (LinkedIn profile) will demonstrate the use of Total Quality Management tools applied to project management and the PMO.

These tools enable better predictions and can help us understand the weak areas of our organization and our project.

• Knowing this makes our plan more accurate. Knowing this provides a better understanding of the risks.
• Knowing this allows us to improve the project and organizational processes.
• Knowing this enables the organization to constantly improve instead of burning the metaphorical hand on the same hot stove top and wondering why.
