Increasingly descriptions of the PM role and PMO responsibilities emphasis projects are investments and participants must support all things benefits.

For example the 6th Edition of the PMBoK-Guide®’s description of the project manager discusses “…[and] may also be involved in follow-on activities related to realizing business benefits (pg51)”

Whether or not the PM is ’involved,’ the PMBoK-Guide does not provide any Tools or Techniques by which: we can facilitate business leaders to crystallise “what we will see and experience when benefits are flowing in a desired future.”

If, as diligent experts we are to support benefits then the responsibilities of the PM must include interacting with the business at each the end of the project life cycle. To do this, we need competencies – knowledge & behaviours we practice to develop skills.

This presentation focuses on pragmatic guidance. It gives awareness of concepts, steps, tools and techniques for leaders, managers, facilitators and analysts.

Join Simon Harris (LinkedIn profile) as he covers:

• Why senior leaders are forced into change – VUCA Market-place pressures
• Facilitating the top-table debate – with a CFO/FD’s blessing for the value proposition

Many Agile project teams are reaching a level of maturity where they are interested in the next level.

Can we improve our process? How?

For some teams Kanban is the choice to improve their processes. Others are also looking at Kaizen.

Both Kanban and Kaizen techniques, originated in the ‘traditional” Lean Six Sigma, were used in manufacturing to increase the quality from 3 Sigma to 6 Sigma. Most of the Business Transformation projects have a software/IT component delivered by teams using the Agile/Scrum approach.

Like in any other approach, there is room for improvement for teams using Agile. Lean Six Sigma was used for decades as a tool for process improvement on the assumption that  “what you can’t measure you can’t improve”.

In principle, Lean (eliminate waste by process standardization) is fundamentally opposed to Agile (embracing change even late in the process).

Six Sigma can be the balance between Lean and Agile, measuring the impact of Lean and/or Agile initiatives.

From the Six Sigma perspective, IT projects are currently at a 3 Sigma level. In principle these projects should also aim for a 6 sigma level but achieving that will impact Agility.

Therefore, it is of the opinion that, in IT/Software projects Lean Six Sigma should be used to get the optimum point (as lean as reasonably agile) where efficiency meets agility.

As presented in a previous webinar about Lean Six Sigma implementation in a start-up, the Lean Six Sigma techniques can be used at a smaller scale, but to be successful it needs to be adapted to the specifics of IT projects.

This presentation is based on a real case study, using Lean Six Sigma to measure the impact of process improvement initiatives in a hybrid project delivery environment. It describes the objectives, the approach, the challenges and achievements of a benchmarking program spanning more than 5 years.

This presentation with  Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile); is based on his experience as a Development Team Lead, Development Manager, Scrum Master and Project Manager working with Scrum teams.

Hybrid project management has gained popularity due to its ability to effectively bridge traditional and agile methods.

A major challenge faced by many Project Managers is knowing how to effectively plan, identify, and manage risks when using a hybrid approach.

There is confusion in industry on what risk management is in a hybrid project environment.

From experience, this is driven by the lack of practical understanding of risk management basics and further compounded by confusion on how traditional and agile approaches may be successfully integrated to increase the probability of project and organizational success.

Please join Laszlo Retfalvi P.Eng. PMP PMI-RMP as he reviews the construct of hybrid projects and provides tips and techniques on how to effectively integrate risk management techniques in hybrid projects to increase project and organizational success.

This material is equally beneficial to those engaged in traditional and agile based projects.
