Project Manager's Journey: From 'Doing' to 'Leading' Many of us are 'accidental' project managers. Project management may not be the profession we dreamed of as we were growing up. Most likely we stumbled into it. You may have been asked to manage projects in your organization, because you have shown superior technical skill. Ironically the skill that got you where you are today as a project manager is not what will take you where you need to go in this position. Now you are not 'doing' project work per se any more but 'leading' it. This presentation walks you through the leadership journey you go through as a project manager. It focuses on the skills you must master for this journey. It illuminates the transformation you must make from a 'doer' to a 'leader.' This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

We Don't Make Servers ...We Make Services: Implementing and Managing IT Services Implementing and Managing IT Services Being a service provider demands knowledge of who the customer is, what you as a provider offer customers (services), and assurance that those services provide value. Customers care about quality of service (e.g. the meal), and generally have little concern about the origin or performance of the ingredients that make it up (e.g. who does the maintenance on the grill). This session will discuss the concept of IT Service Management (ITSM), being a service provider, and the associated challenges, risks and critical success factors. You will learn about the importance, benefits and challenges of implementing and managing a formal IT Service Management (ITSM) practice for your IT organization and, ultimately, your company.

The Value Driven Project Manager This presentation addresses how core values are formed at the individual level and at the organizational level. It will also address how these values drive personal performance and influence the effectiveness of the professional project manager. Is project management a profession or simply a methodology?

The career-minded project manager is an authority on achieving success, and continually practices and develops the skills necessary to overcome any challenges encountered during the process.

The Mission-Critical Project Manager - Why Our PMs Need (more) Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills Many project managers have achieved mastery of the "tools of the project management trade": they are great planners, effective managers of their project teams, heroic firefighters - in short, they are competent in delivering projects. However, the number of people who can identify a problem, articulate a strategy to address it, *and* translate that strategy into reality is very limited in most organizations. Today, the ability to deal with ambiguity and complexity, acknowledge and solve new problems, and deal with a high degree of uncertainty is in high demand. For such challenges there is little to be found in the conventional 'PM Toolbox.' Adding creative and critical thinking skills is a rewarding opportunity and can make the difference between being just another PM or a truly strategic asset.

Achieving Hypergrowth with DevOps OKRs OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) as a framework for defining and tracking objectives and their outcomes is now widely adopted by companies of all sizes, within multiple industries: Google, Adobe, Amazon, Facebook, Dell, Microsoft, Siemens, and Samsung, to name a few. Product OKRs allow for alignment in product development and delivery, Marketing and Sales OKR support driving the buying process via distribution channels, and Customer Service OKRs ensure that customers receive the support they need. All OKRs are important and interdependent in a cascading, objective-setting environment; however, DevOps OKRs play a special role. They boost customer satisfaction, revenue, productivity, and many other key results exponentially, thus allowing a company to achieve the next level of business objectives. In this talk, we will review why this is happening and discuss how to make it happen. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

The Practical Application of Advanced Analysis Tools to Improve Project Success The Practical Application of Advanced Analysis Tools to Improve Project Success Advanced analysis techniques are often presented in such a way that they are not only confusing but don't seem applicable or worth the time. Unfortunately, because of a lack of understanding of when and how to apply various quality and statistical tools, these tools are underutilized or completely disregarded. The result is missed opportunities for real improvement. This presentation will introduce basic yet powerful tools which can help a project team better understand the drivers to customer satisfaction and other important metrics of the business. If a project manager wants to take the next step in terms of knowledge and skill set enhancement, they need to learn about and apply advanced analysis techniques to tackle the toughest problems. It's that simple. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

The PMO: Business Enabler and Change Agent Corporate entities and government agencies are in the midst of transformational change as a result of business imperatives, regulatory requirements, competitive necessity, mergers & acquisitions, and a plethora of modernizations. PMOs can no longer contribute or even survive under the mantra of Score Keeper and Methodology Advocate. Evolving, successful PMOs are Business Enablers and Change Agents. To remain relevant and continue to add value across the enterprise, PMOs must become part of the fabric of the overall organization. This presentation bridges the gap between the Administrative PMO and the Sustainable and Valued Business Integration PMO. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
