This webinar discusses the 7 relationships within a project &
Their importance to project success.

As a project progresses, all of the resulting interactions between the project manager and those associated with his or her project are essentially relationships that need to be recognized and managed appropriately.

However, the strategies, techniques and disciplines we use are not the same. We must be able to discern the different nature of each and act and/or react accordingly.

Project Relationship Management (PRM) is defined as the active development, cultivation, and maintenance of project-associated relationships.

These relationships include:

1. Project Manager – Sponsor
2. Project Manager – Steering Committee
3. Project Manager – Subject Matter Experts
4. Project Manager – End Users
5. Project Manager – Functional Area Management
6. Project Manager – Organizational Project Management
7. Project Manager – Vendors

This session takes a look at each of the essential relationships encountered during the life cycle of a project and the effective development, cultivation and maintenance of each.

This might sound like an exaggeration, but EVERYONE dreads
“Performance Appraisal Time”! 

Why is this process so painful?

Well, if you’re an Agile team then this is even MORE painful because the role of your manager has changed so much that they couldn’t possibly have all the information needed to solely judge your performance.

Through this session, Sally will dig deeper into this subject and share new modern and Agile ways for thinking about performance management for organizations scaling Agile adoption.

She will talk about the new role of HR departments, new role of Agile Managers, how 360 role based assessments can help and introduce a multi-layered ‘earned’ reward system you can pilot for rewarding teams for meeting team goals not just individual behavior.

Come in with an open mind!

Gathering & Analyzing IoT Data For Manufacturing

The mix of cheap sensors, fast networks, and distributed computing—the recipe for the Internet of Things (IoT) – is gaining increasing attention in the manufacturing industry, where maintenance must be conducted for both individual assets of interest and complex manufacturing processes.

In a talk aimed at data scientists, students, researchers, and nontechnical professionals, Danielle Dean introduces the landscape and challenges of predictive maintenance applications in the manufacturing industry.

Predictive maintenance, a technique to predict when an in-service machine will fail so that maintenance can be planned in advance, encompasses failure prediction, failure diagnosis, failure type classification, and recommendation of maintenance actions after failure.

Danielle reviews predictive maintenance problems from the perspectives of both the traditional, reliability-centered maintenance field and IoT applications.

She discusses problem coverage, applicable predictive models based on data available, and what data must be collected to perform predictive maintenance tasks.

You’ll learn how to bridge the data-driven approach and the problem-driven approach by articulating what types of data are needed for different predictive maintenance applications.

Topics include:

• What data must be gathered for effective predictive maintenance applications
• How to formulate a predictive maintenance problem into three different machine-learning models (regression, binary classification, and multiclass classification)
• The step-by-step procedure for data input, data preprocessing, data labeling, and feature engineering from the raw data to prepare the training/testing data
• How various types of learning models can be trained and compared using different algorithms

Presenter: Danielle Dean (LinkedIn profile) is a senior data scientist lead at Microsoft in the Algorithms and Data Science group within Cloud and Enterprise. She leads a team  on end-to-end analytics projects using Microsoft’s Cortana Intelligence Suite, and integrate them into customer solutions or build end-user dashboards and visualizations. Danielle holds a PhD in quantitative psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
