For managers, authority is assigned and leadership assumed, but there are big differences between management and leadership. Leadership must be demonstrated and authority earned through trust and respect.

Many employees feel frustrated that they aren’t in a position to be leaders, and they often feel alone and underappreciated.

In “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card, Ender Wiggin faced similar challenges as he moved through the battle school. Initially Ender was not only in a contributor position, but he was actively inhibited from demonstrating value.

Ender quickly learned what makes a true leader that people will follow, regardless of the organizational structure and institutional rules.

Join Hans Eckman to learn the 7 secrets of leadership Ender developed during his time at Battle and Command schools.

See how Hans leadership lessons can be applied to your professional growth, development, and perspective as a leader in your company and projects. Even if you are not ready to step from the shadows yet, these lessons will improve your work as a key contributor and facilitate your path to future leadership.

Course Learning Objectives Include:

• Identify leadership traps and how to avoid them.
• Learn how to apply leadership techniques within teams, regardless if you are in a “lead” position.
• Discover non-traditional leadership approaches based on applied lessons.

With the Course You Will Receive:

• Access to the Live and Recorded Version of Webinar
• Personalized Certificate of Attendance
• Copy of Presentation Slides

Findings From A Large-Scale Agile Development Program

This webinar is based on the article which won the Project Management Institute paper of the year award in 2019: Dingsøyr, T., Moe, N. B., and Seim, E. A., “Coordinating Knowledge Work in Multi-Team Programs: Findings from a Large-Scale Agile Development Program,” Project Management Journal, vol. 49, pp. 64-77, 2018. DOI: 10.1177/8756972818798980.

Software development projects have undergone remarkable changes with the arrival of agile development approaches.

Although intended for small, self-managing teams, these approaches are today used for large development programs.

A major challenge of such programs is coordinating many teams. This case study describes the coordination of knowledge work in a large-scale agile development program with 12 teams.

The findings highlight coordination modes based on feedback, the use of a number of mechanisms, and how coordination practices change over time.

The findings can improve the outcomes of large knowledge-based development programs by tailoring coordination practices to needs over time.

1. Can you adopt sustainable project management practices while adding value? 
2. Can one Project Manager make a difference?
   

The answers are Yes!

Sustainable project practices are about more than “being green”.  Sustainability requires that we look beyond the scope, schedule, and budget of the temporary project and consider the larger “Triple Bottom Line” that projects operate within.

The triple bottom line evaluates performance in a broader perspective considering economic, ecological, and social impacts otherwise known as the 3Ps – Profit, Planet, People.

As the agents of change in organizations, Project Managers, are uniquely positioned to identify and lead the change that impacts your “Triple Bottom Line” while creating greater business value.

​Using today’s linear economic model we take finite resources, create products and then dispose of them.  This “take, make, dispose” linear model is no longer sustainable.

​Upon completion of this session, you will be able to:  

• Describe sustainability and the “Triple Bottom Line”.
• Compare the linear and circular economic models.
• Explain circularity to stakeholders.
• Analyze projects in the context of the circularity.

Learn how you as a Project Manager can shift towards the circular economy model where we “make, use, reuse, remake, and recycle”.

Kanban and Kaizen are considered by some teams as the natural evolution from Scrum to an Enterprise Level Agile.

While there are few Agile frameworks that adapted Kanban and Kaizen to software development as a scaling up approach, it is little known that these Lean Six Sigma practices originated in manufacturing more than 50 years ago.

In fact, the 1990s Agile Enterprise used Kanban and Kaizen at scale for large teams and complex products, proving their utility.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) will describe how the Lean Six Sigma Kanban and Kaizen tools can be scaled down to Agile Teams, combining Agility with Process Improvement practices as a way to deliver efficiency while embracing change.
