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.

Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs.

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.
