Mercredi 1 – PMI UK – Virtual Lunch & Learn: Having Responsible Conversations in Project Management

This is a difficult time for all of us. In a very short time, we have moved from established patterns of work to a very uncertain scenario.

We want to start supporting you to have a responsible conversation with any stakeholder. This event is the inaugural Lunch and Learn session from the Responsible Project Management team.

Mercredi 1 – PMI UK Webinar – Project Data Analytics Webinar: Using AI to manage the human side of projects

Little attention is given to the effect of humans in and on projects. Traditionally data is captured on the cost, schedule, resources and the many other types now common in project management. Kelvin McGrath, the Founder of MeetingQuality will share insights into how data on the quality of relationships, perceptions of success, emotion and multiple other types can be captured easily and continuously from project team members, governance body members and stakeholders. Trend analysis and AI can then provide you with the information and insight you need to make critical decisions. This is particularly important when working practices are transforming and success must still be guaranteed. Kelvin will illustrate this with case studies to enable you to understand the art of the possible and the opportunity to fundamentally improve the way in which we deliver projects.

You may be required to work at home given the continued spread of the covid-19. There is little doubt that is putting remote work to the biggest stress-test ever. Clearly, it is taking place at unprecedented scale. It has been in the news night after night and not likely to change anytime soon. Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft have all been taking part, and the list continues to grow. Based on the latest briefings and news reports, this trend will progress for weeks, if not months. A few surveys of employees that work at home feel they are just as productive as they were when they went into the office. Some actually feel they should work more given they do not have commute time and expense.

Mercredi 8 – Wébinaire – PMI Tunisia et PMI France Région Globale – Le PCA dans un contexte de Coronavirus

Faut-il encore insister, de nos jours pour que les entreprises aient une évaluation des risques susceptibles de déstabiliser la continuité de leurs activités, et de cibler/lister les actions nécessaires pour les maîtriser ?

Sommes-nous « suffisamment » conscients que ce Risk Mapping permettra d’identifier aussi les situations de crise potentielles si les risques se concrétisaient et que, par conséquent, un Plan de Continuité d’Activité (PCA) doit être mis en place ?

Jeudi 9 – Webinar – PMI – Projectize: 4-Step Rapid Project Planning

I’ve burned a lot of time – and career currency – trying to create that perfect project plan and I can tell you for a fact that those plans did not eat that first punch any better than plans created in much less time.

Projectize is a bit of a mouthful but it’s a simple concept at heart: A 4-step method for getting from concept to project blueprint in days (not weeks.)

1. Unpack the work
2. Create a checklist
3. Size the work
4. Plan the work

Mercredi 15 – Webinar – PMI – Time Management for Those Who Don’t Have Any

We are each given twenty four hours each day – with the exception of frequent fliers who sometimes get more, and sometimes get less, depending on whether they’re flying East or West. It’s a rare individual who has more time than they need. Most of us would willingly buy more time if such a thing were possible, but we can’t… so? How do we use what we have as efficiently as possible?

If you have time to watch this presentation, then the chances are pretty good you don’t need to do so. But if you don’t have the time to watch, you really should!

Jeudi 16 – Webinar – PMI – Back to First Principles

This webinar goes back to the beginning. It explores where project management came from, and why. It examines the essential principles on which it was developed. And it asks whether those principles would still be relevant if we were starting it all again.

Vendredi 17 – Webinar – PMI – Extreme Programming (XP) Revisited – Lessons learned from XP’s demise

XP, aka Extreme programming, was the first Agile Framework widely used after the publication of the Agile Manifesto. Focused on software development, XP was the beginning of the Agile revolution in software project management.

In XP, the Project Manager is not seen as an enemy of the agile development team, and traditional roles are still present. Very popular in the early 2000s, XP basically disappeared from the Agile landscape and ‘survives’ by some of its practices which are (mis)used by frameworks that adopted them. This webinar relays the author’s experience with the success of XP in a ‘perfect storm’ environment: a software company developing a complex and innovative product when porting a legacy system to C# by a team of analyst programmers working closely with the users under the supervision of a ‘command and control’ Project Manager. The webinar will also describe the lessons learned in the journey to Scrum and then hybrid projects.

Mardi 21 – PMI UK Webinar – Building the Skills of a Resilient Project Team

Whilst many project organizations focus effort on lessons learned and avoiding past mistakes, a resilient project organization is one that is based on equipping its project teams to learn for the future.

We will explore the following:

• Learn from the past, present and future. The key factors that enable assimilating the lessons of the past, learning ‘in the now’ and building resilience
• Create a Rhythm for Knowledge Sharing. The analogy of the Drum Kit for project communications.
• Build a Network of Brokers. The role of key individuals in influencing behaviour and encouraging learning
• Add Social to Your Organization’s Routines. How social learning can be added to the mix
• Create the Tools for Immediate Sharing. Tools and techniques to support immediate knowledge gaps
• Build Resilience. Future-focused activities to build project and team resilience.

The mix of models, ideas and techniques should provide you with food for thought as well as actions and activities with which you can experiment and then adopt or adapt to your own project environment.

Mercredi 22 – Webinar – PMI – Enterprise Transformation to Cyberresiliency

The presentation articulates the needs of the enterprise to transition from “cybersecurity” to “cyberresiliency”.

In simple terms, it is the return to a normal state.

Jeudi 23 – Scrum.Org Webinar – Designing Agile Training Courses for Maximum Impact and Results

How do most Agile training courses typically unfold? From pre-sales process to class-delivery and post-class experience.

We will propose simple, actionable steps you can follow to get the most out of your training courses. Finally, we will introduce the underlying principles, framework and practices created by the ROI Institute that provide the foundations for this approach and suggest resources you can use to learn more.

Jeudi 23 – Webinar – PMI – Agile for Executives

Per the Agile Business Consortium, business agility allows businesses to adapt quickly to market changes; respond rapidly and flexibly to customer demands; adapt and lead change in a productive and cost-effective way without compromising quality; and continuously be at a competitive advantage. The primary reason for moving to Agile is to achieve faster business value and keep you ahead of the competition. Agile is built for change – fundamentally, it is about creating Business Agility. It enables the enterprise to deliver projects more efficiently, with relentless focus on business value and providing the highest return on investment. Whether it is a software project, a new service offering or a new product, Agile’s 12 principles and 3 pillars (transparency, inspection, adaptation) are designed to reduce money spent on undesirable or unusable features which were built based on outdated requirements.

Jeudi 30 – Webinar – PMI – Moving Towards Agile Project Delivery for Large Non-Software Related Projects

Moving to a more agile way of working is not easy. Most infrastructure projects are still delivered via a linear Waterfall approach of design, build, test, and commission through large and often disparate teams. Within these projects, PMOs are indispensable for Project Managers in ensuring they have the right resources, achieve progress towards goals, and deliver expected benefits.
