Project Management: The Intentional Profession 'To be is to do.' Project managers focus on the tools, techniques and effort it takes to 'do' well and deliver the change that mission demands. But we can also choose to 'do good,' and that is what providing our skills as pro bono services to our communities is all about. Like PMs, service-oriented Non-Profit Organizations struggle to deliver community services in a resource-constrained environment. PMs have mastered the skills needed to make things happen in these environments. With the 2015 Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS), two executives organized roughly 400 PMs to assist NPOs in defining and scoping nearly 100 projects - in one day! That is intent. That is engagement. That is meaningful project management. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Scrum: Disrupting the Automotive Industry Old-thought manufacturing teams gather requirements, design the solution, build it, test it, then finally deliver it to market. Today, in some automotive companies, the design portion can take three to twelve years followed by a build cycle of five to fourteen years. This means it is possible to buy a brand new car which represents a team's understanding of what the customer needs were twenty-four years ago! Using the Scrum framework, Joe Justice founded Team WIKISPEED, enabling a completely different pace of development. This all Scrum volunteer-based, 'green' automotive prototyping company, iterates an entire car every seven days. Learn how they use Scrum with Lean production methodologies to compresses the entire development cycle into a one-week 'sprint.' This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Why Government Leaders Must Embrace Agile Agile is a pathway to innovation in many Government agencies. It is a response to challenges in Information Technology where traditional software development processes often did not yield expected results. This resulted in many projects exceeding budgets and timelines, and ignoring needed requirement changes. At its core, Agile is about priorities, placing individuals and interactions above processes and tools; working products above comprehensive documentation; customer collaboration above contract negotiation; and responding to change above following a plan. Leaders can embrace this approach to improve processing times, and coordination among development teams and users. This presentation provides practical steps on how leaders can better understand and support the innovation practices introduced by Agile.

From PMP to Agilista Are you worried about your career as a Project Manager in an agile world? Are Product Owners and Scrum Masters putting your job at risk? Does being a PMP mean you can't be Agile? The answer: 'It depends.' If you define a successful project as only on time and on budget, then maybe. But for good project managers that hasn't been true since the Titanic, which was on time and on budget, sank. Every PM I know who is worth their salt has always recognized that their significance is directly tied to the business value their projects deliver.

Once Upon A Project - Stories and Their Influence on Project Performance What are the stories people share about your project? Do the stories promote success or failure? Do they indicate engagement and respect, or disappointment and exclusion? Every project is a story, and the story can unfold as one of great success or crushing failure. The most effective projects use storylines that promote integration and excellence. The most successful project leaders are able to harness the power of stories to build and maintain a strong team, focus on core values, ensure effective reviews, and openly address risk. This session will consider the use of stories for project success, and suggest the most effective leaders are skilled at the art of story.

Just in Time Training for Frontline Supervisors and Managers: Making the Case One of my favorite quotes on this topic comes from Zig Ziglar: 'The only thing worse than training employees and losing them is not training them and keeping them.' The transition from employee to manager is one of the most challenging: new roles and responsibilities, new ways of looking at organizations, and new ways of relating to all others around them. Most new supervisors and managers will tell you later in their careers that they floundered, avoided conflict, weren't firm enough when they should have been, and came on too strong to compensate - in other words, trial and error. And yet, most organizations spend more on leadership training at the end of a person's career than investing in their early promotions. Does it really make good business sense to give less training to those who need it early while giving more to those who need it less, later in their careers?
