Being a new project manager is a challenge. Where do you start? There is process to manage, expectations to confront, stakeholders to deal with and accountabilities that you are only beginning to appreciate.

It’s one thing to think you have the essentials of process. It is another thing to apply it well, in an ambiguous, uncertain and political environment. Being a new project manager is never easy, and trial and error is often a part of it.

In this presentation Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Managemen endeavors to take some of the guesswork out of getting started.

You’ll explore the essentials of what it takes to be an effective project manager, and how to put your best foot forward on your first day in the role. He examines what you need to now about process, practices, people and politics. You’ll get experienced advice to apply in a situation where experience is what you most feel is missing.

Whether you are a new project manager, or one that has been around the block a few times, this is a presentation where you are likely to still get a wealth of value and insight.

    You will be able to:

    • Identify value as the ultimate success indicator and driver of projects
    • Understand the key content of a business case:
      • Business need
      • Project justification
      • Business strategy
    • Describe the iterative nature of change
    • Explain the subjective nature of value
    • Recognize the difference between “deliverables” and “intended outcomes”
    • Learn how to deliver value across the project life cycle

    Guidance, Training & Certification

    Vast sums of money are invested in projects, programs, and change initiatives across all sectors and industries.

    Business cases or spending proposals typically act as the catalyst for change yet initiatives often fail at the first hurdle as the business case fails to convince senior management of the return on investment.

    This creates a major problem for project teams as they struggle to secure funding for essential change initiatives, simply because the justification for change is insufficient to persuade those that authorize funding.

    Additionally, projects and other change initiatives are at risk of failure (time, scope / cost / benefits realization) if the business case fails to accurately scope critical aspects of the initiative. This is of particular importance in the public sector where taxpayer funds are at stake. 

    Creating effective business cases and spending proposals is therefore critical to securing funding and management buy-in. It is important that individuals have the opportunity to develop their capabilities to create, review, and adapt effective business cases.

    After this one-hour session, learners will be able to:

    • Describe the Green Book and Five Case Model, official guidance, and basis for APMG certification exams
    • Understand the 6 key areas:
      1. Overview of the Five Case Model
      2. Developing the Strategic Case
      3. Developing the Economic Case
      4. Developing the Commercial Case
      5. Developing the Financial Case
      6. Developing the Management Case
    • Learn about the APMG Better Business CasesTM training and accreditation process.
