Microsoft’s Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solution has often been characterized as a tool suitable only for waterfall projects.

Anything iterative or Agile cannot be done using PPM. Please join Bob Tyler (LinkedIn profile) as he proves these claims false!

PPM is a very powerful scheduling tool, but it can also be used very effectively on projects using Agile or other iterative methodologies.

Using the latest version of PPM, Bob will demonstrate how it can be done, with most of the work being done directly in Project Web App. Requiring nothing more than configuration changes to Microsoft Project and the Project Server, PPM can be used very efficiently to manage Agile projects.

No custom coding or macros are required!

The way we develop and deliver software has changed dramatically in the past five years, but the metrics we use to measure quality remain largely the same. Every other aspect of application delivery has been scrutinized and optimized as we transform our processes for DevOps.

Why not put quality metrics under the microscope as well?

To provide the software testing community with an objective perspective on which quality metrics are most critical for implementing DevOps, Tricentis commissioned Forrester to research the topic.

Forrester analyzed how DevOps leaders use and value 75 common quality metrics, then identified which metrics matter most for DevOps success.

This web seminar takes a deep dive into the findings from that research.

Get answers to your important questions, including:

1. Are “popular” quality metrics like number of automated tests, test case coverage, and pass/fail rate important in the context of DevOps?
2. What metrics can help you ensure that continuous updates don’t undermine the very user experience that you’re working so hard to enhance?
3. How do your team’s quality metrics rank? Do DevOps experts believe they’re overrated?
4. Are you among the select few taking advantage of “hidden gems”?

A good project manager is told that they need to have perfect ratio of technical (or hard) skills and non-technical (or soft) skills.

The soft skills are typically described as communication, leadership, stakeholder management, decision making, conflict resolution etc.  The common element of that all these soft skills is that they are all outward facing.

Wellbeing takes the opposite approach and requires a project manager to show the ultimate soft skill and look inward instead to make sure their levels of wellbeing are sufficient and being looked after.

By looking after your own wellbeing, you can ensure you perform all the outward facing skills, whether they are technical or soft skills, to the best of your ability.

In this presentation Sean Whitaker (LinkedIn profile) will show you practical tools for using your signature strengths to enhance your level of wellbeing so that you are prepared for all the challenges of your professional and personal life. It will draw on the science of positive psychology and cover topics of positivity, resilience, grit and authentic happiness.

The transition from individual contributor to manager can be a daunting task. A survey by CEB, now Gartner, revealed that more than 50% of new managers fail.

During this webinar, Learning & Development Manager Libby Mullen will discuss this challenge and five others that new managers face. She’ll explain why management training is a crucial element to success as your newly promoted managers transition to roles that require new, and frequently unfamiliar, skills and competencies.

After this session, you should be able to:

• Identify key strengths and improve weaknesses of first-time managers
• Improve the relationship of new managers and their employees through emotional intelligence development and coaching techniques
