The best project practitioners tailor their leadership approach to meet the needs of the deliverables, the environment, and their stakeholders.

Both waterfall and Agile methods rely on process. With waterfall you might have detailed scope definition, robust schedules, and rigorous change control processes.

With Agile you might focus on three stand-up questions, iteration planning, demonstrations, and productive retrospectives.

Process is great, but we have to move beyond following a process without questioning if it is the most effective way to deliver value. That’s the beauty of hybrid project management. Hybrid project management is about delivering value – not simply following a process.

What You Will Learn

• Identify variables to determine the best approach for delivering your project
• Recognize hybrid approaches for organizing and prioritizing scope
• Describe options for blending waterfall and adaptive schedules
• Consider ways to track progress with hybrid projects

All management approaches undergo changes, and this includes project management practices. Some changes occur slowly, whereas others take place quickly because of rapid changes in the environment and within the organization.

The impact of the pandemic, advances in technology, growth in artificial intelligence applications, how teams collaborate and communicate with each other, and the role of critical soft skills—are leading us into the next generation of project management.

Additionally, the environment in which project managers perform has changed significantly and has become more complex.

Project management is now becoming a strategic competency necessary for the survival of the organization rather than just another career path position.

Project managers are now seen as managing part of a business when managing a project and are expected to make both project and business decisions.

As we apply project management practices to new types of projects, internal and external forces now impact how project problems are being solved.

In this webinar, Dr. Kerzner will discuss the factors driving the next generation of project management including:

• The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
• Advances in project problem-solving and decision-making
• The growth in project brainstorming sessions
• The growth in artificial intelligence applications
• Establishing criteria for project success and failure
• Converting project failure into success
• The growth in the use of crisis dashboards

In OCM, the most common mistake is to focus only on transitioning to the new systems or processes and not on the people.

People are the single most important factor that drives successful change adoption. Organizations that fail to deliver their strategic initiatives often find the lack of stakeholder involvement and engagement counterproductive.

Stakeholders view proposed changes through their beliefs and perceptive filters. They often see projects as untenable headwinds, so making the business case for the project is much easier than making the subjective What’s In It For Me (WIIFM) case. Your mind has to arrive first!

Successful projects require a prescriptive approach driven by Transformational Leadership and Organizational Change Management so that adoption, usage, and proficiency occur.

During this session, learn the difference between change and transformation and why the latter is preferred.

 Dr. Patricia Anderson (LinkedIn profile) will teach you about the different leadership and OCM practices to engage in through the project phases and which to avoid.  Learn how to move from the abstract to the “why” and then on to the concrete “how” we’re going to change and drive successful project outcomes.
