We stand on the verge of the 20th anniversary of a curious date: one where, for many reasons, the world didn’t end.

Y2K was a global project of immense proportions, as organizations literally raced against the clock to prevent their information systems from failing as the rest of the world celebrated the dawn of the new millennium.

For the most part, they kept going. This webinar takes a retrospective view of the Y2K project, one of the largest coordinated systems efforts that the world has yet seen; it offers an alternative perspective and far more insight into the management underpinnings of how to manage an effort that was complex, diffuse and world-wide.

In this webinar Peter de Jager will have no choice but to reiterate what the technical problem was, how we got into that sticky situation, what made it a peculiar type of problem, and how the technical issue was ‘fixed.’

More importantly, it will also explore how we shaped our projects to mitigate this unique global problem.

In an hour, this webinar covers a number of significant organizational challenges.

Join Peter for a look back at a global incident that monopolized the activities of nearly all IT departments through the 1990s. Peter will explore what we’ve learned, what we still have to figure out, and what we are perilously close to once again forgetting.

Although the project failure rate has seen improvement over the last decade or so, roughly half continue to fail.  As such, project risk management [which is designed to address risks that contribute to project failure] has gained significant interest over the same period.

While perhaps one of the more challenging knowledge areas of the PMBOK®, project risk management is a key competency for professional project managers.

This webinar will build on the learning concepts covered in the 03/14/19 webinar entitled ‘Predictive, Iterative and Adaptive Life Cycle Approaches: Managing Projects in the Knowledge Environment’ and will  contrast project risk management across today’s two primary project life cycle approaches – Predictive (Traditional) and Adaptive (Agile) Project Life Cycles.

Presenter: Barry M. Milteer, (LinkedIn profile) MBA, PMP, MCTS  is well-versed in many areas of Business and IT.  Having over 10 years’ experience in Project, Program and Portfolio integration, scope, schedule, cost and risk management. Barry also has significant additional multi- platform Enterprise Project Management (EPM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) experience including Business Case Development, Requirements Management, Solution Selection, Proof of Concept (POC), Installation/Setup, Configuration, Deployment and Training.
