Mercredi 7 – PMI Communauté Francophone – Le management de projets : une compétence pour la vie !

PMI est une organisation « avec un socle de valeurs », avec un propos, un but plutôt qu’un objectif de profit. Cette caractéristique n’est pas un vain mot. C’est le différenciateur entre une organisation résiliente et une autre amenée à disparaitre. PMI est dédiée à développer la capacité de chacun à avoir un impact sur son environnement, local, communautaire, organisationnel ou sociétal. Ce trajet commence avec les actions de la Fondation pour l’Education (PMIEF). Nous allons voir comment PMI et PMIEF proposent de développer les compétences nécessaires pour engager nos jeunes à être les vecteurs futurs du changement, maintenant.

Mercredi 7 – PMI – Finding Confidence in Conflict

Managing conflict is a critical competency for every leader and employee. Unfortunately, many people choose simply to ignore conflict and hope it goes away by itself, thinking that it’s not my call to resolve it. However, conflict is an essential part of growth, especially when there is a need to be innovative and creative, when deadlines are tight, and when the directions are unclear. So, if you prefer to keep quiet while facing a difficult situation, and hope it will blow over, this presentation will be helpful for you to get some confidence and change your perspective of conflicts.

Jeudi 8 – PMI France Côte d’Azur – L’équilibre vie Pro / vie Perso – une équation à (ré)inventer !

Travail, famille, loisirs, santé, relations : nos vies ont beaucoup de facettes, et les priorités s’entrechoquent parfois. Dans cette présentation, nous aborderons un autre angle pour penser ce fameux équilibre, tout en souplesse, pour rester aux manettes de ses choix et donner une place à tout ce qui compte pour soi.

Jeudi 8 – IIBA Geneva – Le rôle du Business Analyst dans l’activité de test logiciel en contexte agile

Les pratiques de développement agiles se répandent rapidement au sein des Directions du Système d’Information, soumises à des impératifs de time-to-market toujours plus courts. Ces nouvelles pratiques s’accompagnent de nouveaux outils, de nouvelles méthodes, d’un nouveau vocabulaire (stand up meeting, sprint, poker planning, 3 amigos meeting, etc.). Elles bouleversent surtout les organisations en mettant la collaboration en continue au centre du jeu, là où le modèle tayloriste avait instauré des silos communiquant les uns avec les autres au travers de documents maintes fois interprétés.

Dans ce contexte, le test logiciel, longtemps relégué en fin de chaine du développement comme variable d’ajustement des mises en production, est revenu à une position centrale, entre l’expression du besoin et sa réalisation. Plus encore, l’approche Test-Driven Development (TDD) et ses avatars BDD (Behaviour-Driven Development) et ATDD (Acceptance Test-Driven Development) ont fait du test l’expression-même du besoin, la définition du « done ».

Dans ces conditions, quel rôle doit jouer le business analyste dans l’activité de test logiciel ? Comment BA et testeurs interagissent-ils désormais ? Nous aborderons ces questions en nous appuyant sur une méthodologie et un outil d’ATDD visuel.

Jeudi 8 – PMI Tunisie – PMBOK Guide 7^eme Edition

Jeudi 8 – PMI UK – Outcomes thinking – the missing link for delivering value

Getting value from projects continues to be a problem, despite the myriad solutions that have been applied over the last decades and the improvement in project methodologies and tools. This session will discuss why delivering value requires more than just “finishing the project” on time and budget.

Vendredi 9 – PMI – The Agile Enterprise: Risk Management in an Agile World

Since the term, agile, grew popularity in the second decade of the 21st century, Risk Management was one of the strong selling points of various agile frameworks. According to agile surveys, reducing risk is one of the main reasons for agile adoption. However, none of the agile frameworks provide guidance on Risk Management. Most of them are limited to a simplistic view that by delivering in small increments risk is limited to the value of a single sprint. The reality is far more complex, and it is not limited to coding or technical skills. A project is dependent on context, on organizational culture, and last but not least, on people’s desire to work as a team and succeed. This webinar is a brief introduction to how important Risk Management is, how it can be done in agile, and why risk, especially in Agile, should not have a negative connotation. Real-life examples will be used to illustrate how the Project Manager, Scrum Master, and the whole project team can take advantage of Risk.

Mardi 13 – Scrum . Org – How to Make OKRs Better – Outcomes over Outputs

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are a powerful tool for setting and measuring goals, but like all power tools, they can come with great responsibility. Matt Hodgson, CEO and Executive Agile Coach of Zen Ex Machina and Patricia Kong, Product Owner of Enterprise Agility at Scrum.org will discuss how to use OKRs in informed ways, so that they can help organizations improve focus and lift outcomes. In this webinar, they will explore how to improve your use of OKRs by using Evidence-Based Management, an empirical framework developed by Scrum.org, including how to align OKRs with strategic goals, and why focusing objectives on activities and outputs leads to poorer results than focusing on outcomes.

Mercredi 14 – PMI – Six Strategies for Dealing with Difficult Stakeholders

Have you ever lost sleep because of a difficult stakeholder? Maybe it was a boss, peer, or someone on the other side of the business. Perhaps it was worry about having to deal with them in an upcoming meeting. Or ruminating about how they are an obstacle to progress on a project. So much of our success leading and directing projects and change initiatives comes down to our ability to influence our project stakeholders. Experience teaches us that managing their expectations and building rapport with our key stakeholders can make an enormous difference in our ability to successfully deliver. But the truth is some of our stakeholders are difficult. And though you can unfriend people on social media, you can’t unfriend a stakeholder–you have to learn how to deal with them. In this session, Andy Kaufman shares six strategies for dealing with difficult stakeholders. There are no simple answers, but these are strategies that Andy has shared with clients around the world, and you’re invited to see which ones you can put into place. After all, you deserve a better night of sleep!

Jeudi 15 – PMI – Product Thinking From An Agile Coach Perspective

As a Coach, Is our mandate only to Coach & Transform our Development Teams? Or should we also coach our Product teams. Many Agile transformations do not succeed as they fail to address the Coaching needs of the Product Ownership teams. It is important that we as coaches focus on our product owners and coach them the right way of product development. This webinar looks at product development from an Agile coaches perspective.

Vendredi 23 – PMI – The Agile Enterprise: Project Roles and Responsibilities in Agile

Agile found its way into project delivery with many certifications attempting to define various agile roles, some of them project-related. Although the Manifesto for Agile Software Development is against specialization in an Agile Team, all the traditional roles have become « Agile » by sticking the « Agile » label to the old job title: for example, Agile Project Manager, Agile Tester, Agile Business Analyst, « Agile » Scrum Master and the « Agile » Coach. Most Agile frameworks, like Scrum, Crystal, and XP, were conceived by developers for a small team of software developers, and the Project Manager role is usually omitted. Unlike ‘specialized’ Agile Project Manager certifications, PMI’s Project Management Professional (PMP)® remains the industry benchmark for the Project Manager role, providing an increased focus on Agile and Hybrid practices without compromising the knowledge required to manage projects that can’t or won’t use Agile practices. This webinar is a comparative analysis of various roles in a project that uses agile practices and how various project roles should change to adapt to a new way of delivering projects.

Lundi 26 – PMI – The Role of Social Media in Intrastakeholder Strategies to Influence Decision Making in a UK Infrastructure Megaproject

This webinar examines the role of social media in public stakeholder and intrastakeholder group strategies to influence decision making in the consultation stage of UK infrastructure megaprojects. The context is the consultation process on the construction of a new Crossrail 2 station in Chelsea, London, where there is resistance. Analysis of social media communication by the affected public groups and interviews with the opposing group shows different intragroup concerns, with stakeholders developing a strong identity enabled by social media. To reduce perceived lack of responsiveness, we recommend that project managers harness social media marketing principles for ongoing relationship building.

Mardi 27 – PMI – Don’t Just “Go Agile”!

The world is changing faster than ever, and the next disruption is just around the corner.

Mercredi 11 – PMI – Work from Home (WFH) Experience Calculator, a Useful Tool for Project Managers

This webinar will introduce you to a free tool aimed at evaluation and improving your (and your project team’s) Work from Home (WFH) experience. Like millions of others, I started working from home in 2020. Most of my clients also started working from home and I was asked a range of questions related to how to work from home effectively. Being involved in the interior fitout business I was keen to provide some answers and having conducted extensive research and discussions I have identified nine key elements to keep in mind when working from home. This is especially applicable to project managers as they need to work from home themselves and ensure their project team members are able to work from home optimally. The WFH calculator works as follows: read the information pertaining to each element and give yourself a score for each element. This is known as your baseline score. Identify elements where you gave yourself a low score and make some changes (as per the recommendations in the guide) aimed at improving your score on the particular element/s in question. Rescore yourself monthly as you make changes. As your score improves so too will your WFH experience. Share this information with your project team and as their scores improve so too will their WFH experience. Some changes will be easy, some will be difficult, some will be impossible so start with what you have and aim to maximise your own score. As a project manager you should also guide your team members to improve their WFH experience and this tool provides a structured method to do so.

Jeudi 12 – PMI – DCMA 14-Point Assessment: A Hands-On Practice in Construction Schedules

A project schedule is an indispensable tool in the hands of a Project Manager to efficiently manage and direct project work. A well-constructed and maintained schedule is a key ingredient needed for the success of any project. The DCMA 14-point assessment offers a project manager an industry defined method to quantitatively evaluate a schedule and improve its quality. The project manager may use the DCMA 14-point assessment at the beginning of the project as a set of guidelines for developing a logic driven, solid and manageable schedule, and throughout the life of the project, as a set of health checks for periodically evaluating the schedule against a set of measurable criteria. It is not always easy to change traditional scheduling practices and compromise the apparent simplicity of a schedule.

Vendredi 13 – PMI – The Agile Enterprise: Using Agile to Fast Track Process Improvement

Agile, the new approach that in 1970 was created to replace Lean Six Sigma, is now ‘scaling up’ by reverting to Lean Practices, such as Kanban, Theory of Constraints, Voice of Customer, and, Kaizen. Although the main scaled Agile frameworks originated as Lean frameworks, the Process improvement practices, including the very important Six Sigma component that is the most mature and confirmed way of measuring the impact of process improvement initiatives, were left out. This is partly because they require more complex and nuanced skills and knowledge and partly because they are associated with manufacturing, whilst most Agile frameworks originated in software development. In some cases, the reason for avoiding mentioning the Lean Six Sigma origins of most scaled Agile practices is just because some of the well-known Lean Six Sigma practices are now at the core of various Agile certifications. Although Lean goals (e.g., eliminate waste, adoption of standardized processes) are in opposition to the Agile mindset that fundamentally embraces change, allows good waste, and is against reliance on standardized processes, Lean and Agile can complement each other and adapt to change in an efficient way. This webinar is a presentation on how the most mature Process Improvement approach, Lean Six Sigma’s Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC), can be used to fast-track Agile adoption as well as how it can be used to convince senior management that Agile can be a solution for core issues and a way to improve the bottom line.

Lundi 30 – PMI – Senior Leaders’ Expectations on Project Management – New Insights from Harvard Business

As the number of projects in organizations skyrocket, understanding project fundamentals and fostering project management skills have become essential. Leaders have too many projects with too little visibility into them, and they lack the project oversight and delivery competencies to untangle them. In a recent survey with Harvard Business Review, we wanted to look at the current challenges faced by senior leaders when dealing with projects and project management, as well as their expectations for the future. The results, combined with other case studies, will help us better understand how organizations are using projects now, where they are finding success with projects, and where they are struggling. The session will help project managers translate their hands-on know-how up to the leader’s-eye view.
