Experiencing Agile
Maria Matarelli, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSP
Discover the benefits of Agile and learn by doing in an Agile Project
simulation. Learn techniques to cut through extra process and get
results. Whether you are adopting Agile, assisting your organization in
change and leadership alignment, or a project manager that simply
knows evolution is the key to the complete project manager, Agile skills
and experience is the next step. Learn key elements for increasing your
speed to market, experience the benefits in a project simulation, and
discover Agile techniques that you can begin to immediately apply in
your work environment.
The Guide to Lean Enablers for Managing Engineering
Programs
Deb Secor, Principal Program Manager at Rockwell Collins
Showcases how her Lean Engineering Accelerated Planning (LEAP) team
successfully applied best practices from TheGuide to Lean Enablers for
Managing Engineering Programs during development of an aircraft
remote-visioning system. The Guide was released in 2012 by the Project
Management Institute (PMI), the International Council on Systems
Engineering (INCOSE) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT). Learn from Deb how to apply lean enablers at the outset of the
planning process to drive substantial savings across the life cycle of a
program.
Building, Marketing, and Measuring a Value-Add PMO
Tom Mochal, President of TenStep, Inc. and winner of the PMI 2005
Distinguished Contribution Award, enables you to put all the pieces
together to make sure that Project Management Office (PMO) work
provides value, the value is measured, and the value is communicated.
Do not let your organization’s PMO be viewed as an overhead
organization that is a barrier to swift project completion. Tom will teach
you how PMOs can help projects execute better, faster, and cheaper.
