Technology has huge promises, particularly in terms of project management. People have been building software to manage projects better for pretty much the last five decades.

Despite this, we typical struggle as project managers to use technology well.

• Part of this is a challenge of what the software does.
• Part of this is a product of how it is implemented. And …
• Part of it is a product of how we try to use (or not use) what gets put in place.

Technology can be a huge enabler to project management, or it can be a giant anchor weighing down how projects get done.

Ironically, the same software can figure in both of these scenarios. Part of the challenge of management projects well depends on the software that you buy. A lot more depends on our actions, behaviours and expectations.

In this webinar, Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management dives into the world of project management technology.

It explores what works, what doesn’t work and what needs to change if we’re going to use technology effectively. It looks at the barriers that exist within the technology, as well as the barriers that we often create within our organizations.

If you’re trying to manage projects well, and are fervently hoping, needing or wanting technology to help to make that happen, you’ll want to join us for this one.

The world is going green. We are collectively realizing that we do not have an unlimited amount of air or water or space to continue to utilize resources as we have done in the past.

How can we apply these “green” concepts to our project management discipline? One obvious way is that we can manage green projects more efficiently. The sooner that project ends, the sooner the green benefits will be achieved.

Most project managers however, do not manage these kinds of projects. Most of us manage projects such as installing a new software package or upgrading network infrastructure.

How can these projects become more environmentally friendly?

The answer is Green Project Management (GreenPM). Green Project Management is a model where we think green throughout our project and make decisions that take into account the impact on the environment – if any.

It is a way to ingrain “GreenThink” into every project management process.

Over the last few years, there have been major advancements in DevOps practices, including Kubernetes, DevSecOps, and public and private clouds.

We also have seen companies and organizations introduce DevOps principles at a growing scale, moving from small teams to enterprise-wide implementations.

On the technical side, the advancement has been remarkable, but there is a fundamental aspect many teams fail to consider: Is the move to a DevOps model reflected in business results? In a world dominated by revenue growth and ROI, is the investment in a technical and cultural shift worth the effort?

Join this web seminar to discover how successful DevOps implementation and execution have driven positive business results for companies and organizations of various sizes.

Learn:

1. The requirements to implement DevOps across a large organization
2. How successful DevOps programs are supported by the company’s leadership and culture
3. How a DevOps implementation can drive revenue and improve efficiency
