Among all the management areas that a project manager is expected to know and perform while managing a project, the knowledge area of schedule management is definitely among the top ones.

Time is the most powerful variable among all the variables of a project because time doesn’t depend on anyone or wait for anyone.

While conducting schedule management and developing a schedule, one important area to understand is dependencies, relationships, leads and lags.

These concepts have further usages and consequences in network diagram analysis, critical path analysis, cost management, risk management, vendor management among others.

In this webinar explore:

• What are the various types of dependencies and relationships?
• What are leads and lags, and how they are associated with dependencies?
• How are relationships, leads and lags represented graphically?
• What are the real-world possibilities with various dependencies?
• How Microsoft Project software handles dependencies, leads and lags?

You may have heard the saying “The only constant on any project is change.”

Yet the prospect of change is rarely welcomed—either personally or professionally.

How is it that we still believe that these changes apply to others but not to us?

Julie Gardiner (LinkedIn profile) says that now is the time to re-evaluate and transform how we test in order to deliver more value to organizations—from a people, processes, and tools perspective.

In this session Julie examines, how we’ve gotten to this stage in terms of our role and what skills are vital for us to be prepared for the next stage.

The ever-changing digital world requires organizations to be capable of delivering rapid updates to their products and services in a matter of hours. The traditional approach to testing, one dependent solely on human intervention, simply cannot keep up.

In order to move to the next level of testing transformation, organizations need to make test automation smarter through autonomous testing. As we move toward this paradigm,TestBots based on AI and ML will become the new normal, making testing more independent from human intervention through self-learning.

However, just as is happening in the automotive industry with self-driving vehicles, human testers will still be in the driver’s seat for some years to come, managing and collaborating with TestBots. Are you ready?

In this webinar, Nagendra & Diego , will discuss:

• What customer-obsessed organizations do to accelerate digital transformation with quality
• The Forrester Autonomous Testing framework, its inspiration from SAE, and realities and myths of autonomous testing use cases
• Hexaware’s solutions and platforms for autonomous testing
• Hexaware’s customer case studies

As Public-Private-Partnerships schemes for the procurement of public infrastructure are growing quickly growing in popularity in Asia-Pacific, many governments are faced with the question how to professionalize their PPP Units or PPP Knowledge Hubs.

Because of the long-term nature (and corresponding risks) of PPP projects, it is crucial that a sound framework drives the selection, appraisal and tender phases of PPP projects.

This requires knowledge and experience of PPP professionals, as well as a sound understanding of the market conditions and financial markets. So how can governments improve their capabilities in a structured and efficient way.

In this webinar, Jan-Willem Middelburg & Mun Kit Choong will provide an overview of the Public-Private-Partnership Maturity Index® (PPPMI).

Developed by Cybiant, the PPP Maturity Index uses the CP3P certification as a knowledge base and provides an assessment that measures PPP framework maturity, breaking them down in critical capabilities that are required to improve PPP success.

They  will showcase which critical capabilities are required, and how they can be translated into structure improvement programs.

This webinar is hosted jointly by APMG-International and Cybiant. APMG-International developed the CP3P Certification framework in collaboration with the World Bank.

Cybiant was the first accredited PPP training provider in Asia, and has certified hundreds of individuals in PPP Best Practices.

Presenters:

MK Choong (LinkedIn profile) Regional Manager – ASEAN & Japan at APMG   is responsible for PPP partnerships in this region.

Jan-Willem Middelburg (LinkedIn profile) Managing Director / Co-founder Cybiant, based in Kuala Lumpur started Cybiant with the mission to make a more sustainable world for the Next Generation through the use of data and automation. Jan-Willem was the first accredited CP3P certified trainer in Asia, and has been involved in dozens of PPP project in the APAC region.
