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

The best project managers know that managing the expectations, goals and objectives of key stakeholders is critical to project success.

If the stakeholders aren’t satisfied, even the most efficient and well-executed project won’t be deemed successful in the eyes of those that matter most.

The best way to ensure stakeholder needs are met is to establish them up front, along with clear and mutually agreed upon communication and project completion requirements.

By considering stakeholder perceptions while developing the project charter and project plan, you can avoid unnecessary readjustments during project execution.

Bonnie will review:

• How to initiate projects that help your organization achieve its goals
• How to develop a project charter and a project management plan
• How to identify and analyze project stakeholders and determine their information needs and communication requirements
• How to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure their satisfaction

Workers are tired of being the cog in a machine and boiled down to a list of responsibilities in a job description. They want more—a chance to sharpen their skills, follow a made-for-them career path, and feel like they are contributing to something bigger.

Are you ready for this new era? The time is now for human-centered work, but organizations may be struggling to keep up with the swift changes occurring in the workforce.

Join Eightfold and Deloitte as they discuss how organizations can make this shift by measuring human performance instead of productivity, how company culture plays into this, and why leader support is critical to making it all possible.
