Understand why mature PMOs can also fail miserably. Gain insight about the changing era that PMOs around the world - including yours - are going through.

Stuck on Your Agile Journey? - Become a Learning Organization Although the adoption of an agile framework may be a good first step on your improvement journey, your real goal is to become a learning organization. Learning organizations are capable of developing their own fit-for-purpose Way or Working (WoW), which may be a hybrid of approaches, that enables them to out-compete others. The Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit teaches you what agile frameworks will not - how to choose the approach for the situation that you face, continually learn, and ultimately improve your WoW. DA includes improvement techniques for individuals, teams, cross-team collaborations, value streams, and your enterprise. Knowing how to improve, and doing so effectively, is what enables you to become a learning organization. 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.

If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU. Learning objectives: Understand what a learning organization is and why you need to become one Discover improvement techniques for all levels of your organization Explore how to apply the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit to improve your continuous improvement strategy

Resolve: Leading Through Tensions to Project Success How do you navigate your team through the tensions that are both inherent in projects, and those that can arise whenever a group of people work together to accomplish goals? This workshop provides support to project managers to recognize, anticipate, courageously engage and effectively lead teams through conflict to success. By using practical strategies and techniques, project managers can analyze and plan the best course of action to proactively lead their team through choppy waters to the solid landing of project success. These techniques help to lower the stress level and to strengthen relationships within the team. At its core, teams are made of individuals who want to contribute to the project success by using their talents and expertise. When project managers utilize facilitation and conflict resolution techniques to engage members and to ensure each member is heard, the outcomes are successful deliverables strongly supported by a unified team.

James Webb Space Telescope - Leading Large Complex Global Projects What you will Learn: The James Webb Space Telescope will explore every phase of cosmic history - from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, and everything in between. Webb will reveal new and unexpected discoveries, and help humankind understand the origins of the universe and our place in it. This mission, scheduled for a December 18, 2021 launch, is a collaboration of NASA, the European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency. We discuss the motivating science questions that required the development of the observatory, highlight the technologies, and project management challenges and lessons learned encountered during the development of this large complex global project. The James Webb Space Telescope is arguably an unparalleled engineering and technological feat, we explore the critical role of project management in making the world's largest space telescope a success. As NASA and the space industry are moving swiftly to new approaches, new systems, and far more commercial exploration (often referred to as 'new space') than previously imagined. We also explore how acquisition and project management are evolving towards that future. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

The Four Pillars of PMIAA - Improving "Deliver-ology" for the public sector Harnessing PM Fundamentals to Transform Public Sector Delivery. The Program Management Improvement & Accountability Act (PMIAA) leverages project management fundamentals to transform the public sector's ability to deliver value to its customers. This session will cover the core areas of PMIAA that the US government has codified across standards, executive sponsorship, knowledge transfer, and career paths that has now become benchmark for governments globally. This effort is driving the US federal government's ability to deliver on key aspects of its management strategy, and it is also a first step towards transforming its capability to drive a focus on customer satisfaction, no different than industry, via reliable project and program delivery. As a catalyst for professionalizing and formalizing PM talent and overall capacity, this session will also include examples from around the globe of how the public sector is rising to meet these challenges.

Finding Your Ikigai This presentation demonstrates how Gratitude, Appreciation and Acknowledgment in our corporate culture can lead to a state of workplace well-being. When people use these tools for team communication and project excellence, they both feel and perform better. One of the 7 Principles of Acknowledgment in The Power of Acknowledgment by Judith W. Umlas states: "It is likely that acknowledgments can improve the emotional and physical health of both the giver and the receiver." The neuroscience of Gratitude is a field of growing interest to leaders at workplaces worldwide. Bringing these tools with commitment and intention into the workplace creates a sense of well-being among employees. This is a result at least in part to the release of chemical neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin, among others. Feeling appreciated and valued further creates and enhances that sense of well-being. Acknowledgment of and gratitude for peoples' passions also helps them achieve their state of 'Ikigai,' a Japanese Concept meaning "A Reason for Being." The convergence of what people love (their passion), what the world needs (their mission), what they are good at (their vocation) and what they can get paid for (their profession) creates the state of Ikigai which then fosters a sense of joy and well-being. This can take the form of an employee volunteering for an organization outside of work, doing what they love at work or playing the drums. By acknowledging them and expressing your gratitude to them for pursuing these passions, companies can support the joyful state of Ikigai that helps lead to an overall sense of purpose and workplace well-being.
