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.

Stakeholder Engagement helps us understand what people involved with a project want, and how to engage them to help achieve project success. For both new and experienced project managers, a big challenge is where to go for guidance on the topic.

The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, part of the APM People SIG , has started to collate stakeholder engagement resources on the APM Website.

This webinar provides an overview of the information and tools currently available and how you can help add to and improve this facility.

There are many reasons why projects may struggle to meet their goals but a lack of effective stakeholder engagement is widely acknowledged to be one of the main issues.

The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group (SEFG), now part of the APM People SIG, was established to encourage practitioners to make stakeholder engagement a higher priority.

The first project for the SEFG was to start collating stakeholder engagement resources.

The aim is to support project professionals by sharing case studies, creating an introduction to the key principles of stakeholder engagement, and pointing to relevant and useful reference materials.

These APM Stakeholder Resources are now available on the APM website and .accessible to anyone!

In this webinar Fran and Ian will introduce the Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, provide an update on the SEFG’s progress to date and the materials available on the APM site, and plans for improving and building on these resources.

Presenters:

Fran Bodley-Scott: A veteran marketing & communication consultant with many years experience  and founder of Marketing In Control, Fran specializes in customer retention and stakeholder engagement solutions. She’s been involved with projects throughout her career, ranging from product development to organisation change and business strategy implementation. Fran is an active member of the SEFG. She is a keen supporter of the PMO Flashmob and is also an active member of the APM Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group.

Ian Cribbes (LinkedIn profile) has worked with a wide variety of organisations within the UK and internationally, leading projects with values in excess of £35 million pounds.  Ian is a co-opted member of the People SIG committee and an active member of the Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group.  Ian now runs his own company assisting organisations with programme and project management issues and advising on stakeholder engagement processes.

Call for case studies:

Another important message from the webinar was a request for case studies. To help the SEFG support other practitioners, project managers are encouraged to provide case studies about their stakeholder engagement experience, tips and recommendations. If you have a case study to share, use the template provided below and send it to: SEFG@apm.org.uk.

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. 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!
