The Project Management Institute (PMI) has published the 6th edition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide) and a companion guide dedicated to agile practices.

The impetus?

According to the PMI 2017 Pulse of the Profession^® report, a full 71% of organizations say they are using agile approaches for their projects sometimes, often, or always. And yet, for many practitioners the adoption of agile practices often means a diminished role for the project manager.

Join Bonnie Cooper in this webinar to explore the agile infusion in the PMBOK^® Guide and the companion Agile Practice Guide, as well, and the reality of trying to integrate traditional project management and incremental, adaptive development practices.

Learning goals:

• Review of the PMBOK Guide – Sixth Edition changes and Agile Practice Guide
• Discuss what it means to be an agile project manager
• Discuss the reality of the integration between traditional project management and agile development practices

Presenter: Bonnie Cooper (LinkedIn profile), PMP®, Instructor and Consultant for Corporate Education Group, is a twenty-year information technology professional. In her current role as the Program Director for the Massachusetts Medical Society™(MMS) Corporate IT Program Office, Bonnie is responsible for coordinating the efforts of project teams, overseeing the implementation of project standards, managing the corporate IT strategic plan, and leading the program to re-engineer the membership platform for MMS.

Although 49% of sellers say they are overwhelmed by the number of technologies required to do their job, 76% of heads of sales expect to increase sales tech spending.

The current approach to sales technology puts revenue at risk, which in turn overwhelms sellers, making them less likely to hit quotas.

To succeed, chief sales officers (CSOs) must evolve the way sales technology supports sellers by elevating technology to become a teammate rather than just being deployed as another tool.

This sales webinar will help CSOs rethink their revenue technology strategy and unlock steps to improve seller productivity.

This transformation presents CSOs with a breakaway moment to position their organization for significant increases in growth and competitive differentiation.

Discussion Topics:

• Understand why revenue technology needs to be a teammate
• Learn why it is critical to reshape the human-technology relationship in the sales organization
• Explore real-time examples of how to prioritize high-value use cases for sales technology

Panelists:

• Doug Bushée (LinkedIn profile) Gartner r. Director Analyst
• Daniel Hawkyard (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Principal, Advisory
• Steve Rietberg  (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst
