In the recent years a growing trend of executives and project managers consider that the project success lies more “in the eye of the beholder”, and less in simply meeting the Triple Constraint.

Introduced as “Project Stakeholder Management” in PMBOK® Guide 5th Edition, this knowledge area is acknowledging the importance of stakeholders’ engagement in most projects, most of the time.

Aligned with PMBOK® Guide 6th Edition structure for Stakeholders Knowledge Area, this versatile session combines traditional instruction methods with real-life examples to provide the participants with practical tools and techniques to:

  • Identify, analyze and categorize stakeholders.
  • Discover and map stakeholders’ relationships.
  • Define engagement objectives, plan and execute engagement activities.
  • Monitor efficiency and optimize your actions to achieve desired results.

In this session  George Jucan (LinkedIn profile) covers the entire life-cycle of stakeholders’ engagement, from day 0 to project sign-off, and describes not only WHAT to do but also HOW to do it efficiently – including original tools and techniques proven by George’s successful track record in complex stakeholder environments.

The best project managers know that managing the expectations, goals and objectives of key stakeholders is critical to project success.

If the stakeholders aren’t satisfied, even the most efficient and well-executed project won’t be deemed successful in the eyes of those that matter most.

The best way to ensure stakeholder needs are met is to establish them up front, along with clear and mutually agreed upon communication and project completion requirements.

By considering stakeholder perceptions while developing the project charter and project plan, you can avoid unnecessary readjustments during project execution.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How to initiate projects that help your organization achieve its goals
  • How to develop a project charter and a project management plan
  • How to identify and analyze project stakeholders and determine their information needs and communication requirements
  • How to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure their satisfaction

Great sorrow and fear are unfortunately starting to shape the job industry, but purpose has the power to change this trend for the better.

What can employees do about this as individuals who feel at risk of losing their jobs, and how can company leaders ensure we progress along this curve of transformation?

Longstanding highly paid jobs are being transformed overnight, and in some cases are being phased out.

Robotics, AI, automation, machine learning and other innovations fill the news and job boards every day. Tech is making the world evolve and it impacts every industry.

Employees need to connect deeply to their purpose by asking themselves, “who am I?” Often, they don’t take enough time to really determine what matters to them as individuals, and respond by scrambling reactionarily, which can take them further away from what they may love to do, thus potentially lowering engagement levels.

By simply slowing down and not moving at the pace of the evolutionary technology boom, employees can determine their next path, whether it be a complete shift in career or an augmentation to make them more relevant in this evolving economy and job market.

Engagement is really simple; it’s an authentic connection to a purpose, no matter what you do!

As leaders, look to empower employees and teammates with purposeful strategies, like learning about the power of having a growth mindset. As some jobs go away and others are created, this mindset helps people see fear from a place of courage, rather than a threat.

From this mindset, employees can then align their job skills with purpose to face challenges and soar to success.

Aligning with purpose leads to passion, and passion leads to happiness, and then happiness leads to productivity, which naturally leads to results that are beneficial to the person and organization itself.

PMBOK® Guide Goes Agile

Share

Online Webinar  – Recorded February 7th, 2018
Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free
Provider:  The Corporate Education Group ( REP 1011 )

The Project Management Institute (PMI) has published the 6th edition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and a companion guide dedicated to agile practices.

The impetus?

According to the PMI 2017 Pulse of the Profession® report, a full 71% of organizations say they are using agile approaches for their projects sometimes, often, or always. And yet, for many practitioners the adoption of agile practices often means a diminished role for the project manager.

Join Bonnie Cooper in this webinar to explore the agile infusion in the PMBOK® Guide and the companion Agile Practice Guide, as well, and the reality of trying to integrate traditional project management and incremental, adaptive development practices.

Learning goals:

  • Review of the PMBOK Guide – Sixth Edition changes and Agile Practice Guide
  • Discuss what it means to be an agile project manager
  • Discuss the reality of the integration between traditional project management and agile development practices

Presenter: Bonnie Cooper (LinkedIn profile), PMP®, Instructor and Consultant for Corporate Education Group, is a twenty-year information technology professional.
