What Can Children Teach Us about Project Management?

As surprising as it may seem, the art of raising children leverages many of the same skills as managing a project team.

Fostering the growth of a child’s mind requires the creation of a positive atmosphere comprised of love, trust and enablement. Similarly, in working with teams, we strive to create an atmosphere of open communication, collaboration and trust.

This webinar will highlight and examine 7 things you can learn from kids that apply to project management:

1. Play group dynamics are a lot like team dynamics
   • no one should be left out
   • we should respect the will of the group
2. To gain cooperation, timing is everything
   • never seek it on empty stomachs or after a long day
   • understanding what motivates others is the key to maintaining collaboration
3. Learning moments need to be seized and capitalized on
   • capitalize on the sense of urgency for maximum effect
4. How to combat peer pressure
   • being unique doesn’t mean you don’t fit in
5. Working through conflict means learning to work it out
   • bullying hurts everyone, especially the bullier
6. Value everyone’s talents and approach
   • not everyone learns the same or thinks the same
7. Be consistent when applying support, rewards, corrections and routines
   • it will reduce anxiety and set a pace

Two key criteria for user stories to be effective are that they should be small and independent. Small user stories are easier to size and prioritize, and independent stories fit better in sprints due to fewer dependencies.

To split user stories into smaller and more digestible pieces, teams have a variety of techniques and criteria available to them.

What techniques can you utilize to slice and dice user stories so they fit the small and independent criteria?

Attendees will learn how to split user stories in this webinar. They will be able to split in a variety of ways, including by theme or functionality, and will be able to work with product owners and teams to better prioritize and size smaller and more independent user stories.

A vast number of project managers are employed directly by organizations. Employment as a project manager is one career path, and it’s certainly a viable one.

There are times when the opportunity presents itself to become a freelancer. By the same token, there are times when losing the org chart and becoming an independent looks like an appealing alternative path. While being an independent freelancer can certainly be rewarding and engaging, it is not without its risks and challenges.

In this webinar Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management draws on more than 30+ years of being self-employed to pull back the curtain and reveal what it takes to successfully manage as an independent professional. You’ll learn the successes, the defeats and what it takes to sustain a successful freelance practice, year in and year out.

If you’ve thought about hanging out your shingle and calling yourself “boss,” this is a presentation that you won’t want to miss.

Project management in any organization rolls up to leadership visibility for strategic management of new products or services. At the bottom line, a project manager’s steering to success is the key to each measurable element.

The modern era’s projects are more complex today and we are required to navigate through lots of challenges such as; people management, schedule, technical etc. using our leadership & communication skills.

However, we may need to identify a “what if-scenario” to be able to enable everyone to realize Project Management needs, organization goals & how everyone (internal stakeholders) can better involve and contribute for the success of each project.

Anil Desai (LinkedIn profile) experiences, thoughts and ideas come from weak-matrix organization particularly where a Project Manager has less authority over resources and needs more efforts to form, push & maintain a good balance between different stakeholders throughout the process.

Anil’s idea of “project management for all” could help realize how a project goal delivers values & builds images across the regions.

Learning Outcomes:

1. To identify non PMO stakeholders who might need project management education and recommend so
2. To identify gaps in communication and build a strong bonding for a same goal
3. Could determine where one can still has a good hold of Project Management as centre of leadership
4. Can lay out a plan for cross function complexity
5. How this helps to become a two-way handshake
6. How we can identify reducing needless efforts of project manager and make it a more collaborative activity
7. How PM jobs in such a scenario can be more thankful
8. Finally everyone can be more responsible for a common goal and success of the business

Risk management is a fundamental component of all projects, but to what degree is the full toolkit used, and how is it integrated across an organisation?

In this webinar, Pauline Stewart-Long will review some of the risk practice that could be improved in the Pharma, Biotech and Life Science sector.

Participants will find two threads useful.

1. Firstly, although we usually collect and assess potential risks, what are the best practices for impact assessment, and what are the most practical methods for establishing practical, meaningful mitigation strategies?
2. Secondly, although we typically manage risks within a project, these are often mis-aligned at different levels in a company and across a portfolio of projects.
