Your organization is pretty good at delivering on time and on budget, or at least thinks they are on a path to get there. Yet no one seems happier with the results.

• Business sponsors disappear after the project kick-off.
• No one reads your status reports.
• Resistance to painstakingly developed processes is growing.

What is going on here?

In this presentation we provide personal tools – frameworks, models and approaches for managing beyond the mechanics of project execution and PMO compliance.

Discussion Topics:

• Why is business and stakeholder engagement an issue for IT projects?
• How should change management be planned and managed within traditional project environments?
• What are the most effective metrics, reports and dashboards to use when informing executives about project activities?

Presenter: Audrey L. Apfel, (LinkedIn profile) Managing VP
