Managing Complex Projects: Virtual In-House Training As knowledge and technology expand exponentially, organizations are finding that the tools, processes, and methods used to select, plan, and manage their projects are insufficient for the challenges posed by them. The goal of this course is to provide participants with a working knowledge of project complexities and a framework for managing the ambiguities involved in today's fast-changing, competitive, and technology-based environment As knowledge and technology expand exponentially, organizations are finding that the tools, processes, and methods used to select, plan, and manage their projects are insufficient for the challenges posed by them. Complex projects don't necessarily follow the rules of traditional projects - in many instances the projects' end-products, and the methods by which they will be produced, are not easily defined. Stakeholder diversity and geographical dispersion contribute to the difficulties project managers face in their efforts to gain acceptance of project goals, objectives, and changes. Additionally, hierarchic leadership styles, traditional lifecycle approaches, and traditional project manager competencies may no longer maximize the efficiencies that need to be realized on complex projects. The goal of this course is to provide participants with a working knowledge of project complexities and a framework for managing the ambiguities involved in today's fast-changing, competitive, and technology-based environments. What you Will Learn The learning objectives of this workshop are to enable participants to: Appreciate complexity and its impact on the management of projects Describe the differences among traditional, complicated, and complex projects Explain the effects of complexity on the PMBOK® Guide's process groups Apply a high-level model in the management of real- world projects Complexity and Projects Some characteristics of complex systems Important models/characteristics of complex projects Major players in project complexity Landscapes and project typologies A supplemental framework for complex projects Framing Framing overview Potential pitfalls in framing complex projects Possible solutions Inception Centrality of risk management PM competencies, selection Stakeholder identification, analysis Blueprint Collaborative planning Stakeholder engagements Alternative methodologies/life cycles Collaborative scheduling Procurement management Oversight, Navigation, and Adjustment Leadership and the project team Stakeholder management Networks Close and Continuous Improvement Transition/support Post-project evaluations Rewards/Recognition

Creating the Most Value with Project Management Metrics This talk will provide guidance for participants who want to implement or improve the metrics they use for project management. The discussion will focus on important distinctions to keep in mind, including the key difference between a project which is tackling something brand new, vs. a project which is only execution oriented, as these will be best served by different types of metrics. It will also look at qualitative versus quantitative metrics and describe when to use which, present a formula for Project Management Effectiveness with the associated metrics, and explain the new ISO 56000 innovation management standard. Key Takeaways: A decision tree structure that shows how to think about project management metrics Project Leader Perspective vs. PMO Perspective Qualitative vs. Quantitative Metrics and the top ones to use The Project Management Effectiveness Formula Dashboards for the PMO The New ISO 56000 Innovation Management Standard

Managing Multiple Projects: On-Demand Succeeding in today's competitive marketplace often requires cycle time reduction - reducing the duration of projects and getting results faster. This workshop will address managing multiple projects within the context of program or product management. Are your projects taking longer and longer to complete? Are results less than optimal because of time pressures on resources? Would you like to increase project 'throughout'? Succeeding in today's competitive marketplace often requires cycle time reduction - reducing the duration of projects and getting results faster. This workshop will address managing multiple projects within the context of program or product management. Planning and managing individual projects is challenging. When introducing the real-life limitation of resources and other outside influences into the multi-project environment, those challenges are magnified, and new challenges are introduced. This interactive workshop will position you for immediate action. The goal of this course is to equip you with the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques so that you can effectively and productively manage multiple projects. What you Will Learn You'll learn how to: Manage stakeholder relationships and expectations Prioritize and sequence multiple projects Manage time and stress within a multiple project environment Effectively manage logical dependencies among projects Optimize the use of resources across multiple projects using concepts from Critical Chain methods Manage risk and communications in a multiple project environment Getting Started Introductions Course structure Course goals and objectives Foundation Concepts Portfolio, program, and project management principles The multiple project environment The MMP Process Model Developing the Multiple Project List Multiple project portfolio management Project selection Project categories and types The multiple project list Multiple Project Logical Dependencies Project dependencies Types of multiple project portfolios Categories of logical dependencies across multiple projects Project priorities in the multiple project schedule Multiple Project Resource Management Multiple project resources and resource management concepts Multiple project resource loading Resource pool and resource database Multiple project resource issues and outsourcing Critical chain resource management, including drum resources and multi-tasking Managing Risk Across Multiple Projects Multiple project risk management process Identifying, assessing, and responding to multiple project risks Critical chain and multiple project risks Risk interrelationship management methods Creating and Executing the Multiple Project Plan The multiple project plan Multiple project scheduling Multiple project budgeting Executing and maintaining the multiple project plan Controlling in the multiple project environment Tools in multiple project management Multiple Project Communications Effective communication in the multiple project environment Common communication barriers Multiple project communications plan Resolving multiple project conflicts Summary and Next Steps What did we learn, and how can we implement this in our work environments?

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. 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.
