Project Managers have always been taught to focus on the Triple Constraint, Time, Cost, and Scope. That is a good thing as in order to successfully manage a project it is important to plan for, execute, and track these variables.

This focus has been reflected in PMBOK®s from the 1st through the 6th edition with PMI® taking a prescriptive approach to generally accepted project management practices.

As such, the PMBOK® editions have had an emphasis on predictive and iterative life cycles which usually follow a waterfall sequence of project phases.

In the 7th edition of the PMBOK®, PMI® decided to change the focus of the material to an outcome based format, more in line with ANSI, and ISO standards.

The focus is now on Project Management Principles and Performance Domains that are relevant to any project management life cycle.

This Webinar will cover the following topics:

1. A brief history of PMBOK® edition changes
2. Why Agile is different
3. Explanation of Project Management Principles
4. Explanation of Project Management Practices

Scrum Master and Project Manager are two roles that, for the past 15 years, coexisted well, especially in IT projects.

From the very technical role that was part of the software development team, the Scrum Master evolved into a new organizational role, sometimes with a well defined job description and with responsibilities that transcended the technical background from which it originated.

Although the role was defined in the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role is now present in other frameworks and there are many training courses and certifications available from other organizations with different views on the skills required and the responsibilities of the Scrum Master.

It is additional evidence that the role is evolving beyond what the Scrum Guide authors intended.

The Project Manager role also changed since the Agile Manifesto publication and the adoption of Agile delivery frameworks. Mainly due to a dynamic business environment, more geographically distributed workforce, and last but not least because of the digital revolution: cloud, social media and mobile technology’s impact on how projects are managed and delivered.

Skills developed as a Scrum Master, like team and people management, are a good foundation for career development.

Like in any other profession Scrum Masters will reach a point where they feel the need to go beyond a Scrum Team of 5-9. Project Management is one option for career change but is it the right one?

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.

It contains also advice for Project Managers and Scrum Masters that want to play a dual role.

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.

Digital twins have been hyped as the next big thing in process excellence, especially in the manufacturing space, for years.

Now, thanks to advancements in AI, data processing and IoT, the dream of digital twins is now becoming reality.

The ways in which commercial, academic and governmental organizations are using digital twins are truly remarkable. City planners, for example, are using digital twins to analyze and solve urban problems such as traffic, pollution and overcrowding.

In life sciences, researchers are using digital twins to study diseases and develop cutting-edge treatments.

Digital twins are becoming so popular that the industry is expected to reach US$125.7bn by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 39 percent from 2021.

Digital twins, however, require massive amounts of high quality data and extensive computing resources.

In addition, they also pose numerous cybersecurity and ethical challenges. Should the data used to create digital twins be compromised in some way, whether maliciously or not, it could have catastrophic results.

Elizabeth Mixson (LinkedIn profile) Editor PEX Network & Amit Badlani (LinkedIn profile) Head of Product, AI / ML NVIDIA will look at the promise and the perils of digital twins.

Key discussion points will include:

• Why is digital twin technology such a game changer and how are organizations using it to reinvent themselves for the digital age?
• How do you avoid building an evil twin by ensuring data is ethically used and protected?
• Are digital twins worth the investment?
