Setting Your Program Up for Success

The skills needed for program management can differ significantly from those needed for project management.

Program management is about maximizing the benefits realized with constrained resources in a changing environment; project management is focused on the efficient creation of a defined deliverable.

In this session will address some of the differences between the skillsets, and will identify three of the most essential, while successfully balancing the four inter-related management skills needed for successful program management: project, program, portfolio, and operations.

In this webcast, you will discover the tools to initiate a program successfully in a manner that will enable benefits establishment, realization management, and analysis prior to and during execution.

Lisa Wolf will show you how to set realistic objectives and performance measures. The three key tools for program success we will discuss in this webcast are:

Learn:

• Creating a program roadmap
• Identifying what is needed for organizational strategy and program alignment
• Creating an environmental assessment

These skills are only three key tools for program success, to be used within an entire program lifecycle, but can serve as a foundation for success.

The use of these tools will vary based on the type and complexity of the program; effective and strategic program management can often depend on how well these foundational elements are executed to ensure appropriate program definition, benefits delivery, and closure.

It has been repeatedly observed that Lean and Agile, being two parallel streams of development, are both affecting the shape organizations are taking.

These two paths intersect at several points and many researchers have already used them together, at times for specific purposes of organizational performance enhancement and continuous improvement.

From Organizational Project Management perspective, PMI has recently embraced agility in project management and have natural snowball effect on program and portfolio management.

While we are discussing Organizational Agility on one end, and impacting Organizational Project Management on other,This session will introduce the natural complimentary fusion of agile and lean.

The focus of this webinar is multi-fold:

• Relates the organizational advantages of both Lean and Agile
• Highlights the similarities and differences between the two
• Shows how Lean Agile they can be removed or even synergized
• Shows how can Lean Agile best be unified bringing in benefits of both the streams.

While agile focuses more on enhancing project management, lean is more inclined towards process improvement, which in a sense, has a role within the project as well as the whole organization.

This is because of their origins, lean being originated from manufacturing industry and agile from software industry.

Advantages of both can be applied on all kinds of organizations and all types of projects, forces us to deliberate more on experimenting with various combinations and areas from strategy and business to organizational project management.

This session will conceptualize a Lean-Agile (LeAgile) Organization taking both directions, “Organizational Agility” and “Lean Organizations”.
