In this webinar Owen Anthony will focus on practical ways to improve the transition from project delivery into business as usual.  Looking at lessons learned from other schemes and sharing success factors that support better handovers of schemes, the emphasis will be to help projects deliver benefits.

Billions of pounds are spent globally every year on projects and much has been written and taught about how to manage them as effectively as possible, but if they are not then handed over well, what is the point?

Without focusing on how to pass the project into the business as usual/ end user environment, the chances of the project delivering the benefits it was commissioned for in the first place are significantly reduced.

Owen led an APM research fund study which aimed to identify how handovers can be improved. The study drew upon learning from other organisations including Crossrail, The Ministry of Defence, Mediacity and many others.

The purpose of this talk is to share the findings of the research report, along with some practical tips and recommendations that can be applied to projects to improve their handover.

Intercultural Gaps Threaten Many Projects

National cultures, job cultures, enterprise cultures, generational cultures: any gap in those components can lead projects to face culture clashes…and additional problems.

Yet, project managers can not only actively manage those gaps, but also leverage them and thus extend leadership skills.

In this webinar Robert de Quelen (LinkedIn profile) & David Colliquet (LinkedIn profile) will highlight which levers project managers can use to identify and proactively manage intercultural factors within the project, and suggest practical ways to develop an intercultural leadership style which can be effective both at personal and team level.

To stimulate growth in complex environments, companies continuously seek to improve efficiency and find ways to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.

With more than $1.7 trillion in revenue lost due to software failure in 2017 [World Quality Report], many enterprises have already embraced automation and reduced their manual testing efforts.

To achieve this, they rely on various automation frameworks like Selenium and QMetry Automation Studio, as well as the integration of CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Gitlabs, and Bamboo to deliver the true transformation from manual to agile and then to DevOps.

While many organizations are already using test automation and CI/CD to reduce the time to market, there is still a challenge to get actionable data in real time.
