Building Hyper Performance Scrum Teams: Using Crew Resource Management Techniques from Aviation Have you ever been part of an organization or team where leaders failed to accept input from junior team members and a project or initiative failed? Now imagine being part of a team flying an aircraft where either failing to share information or not acting on critical information in a decisive manner can cause the aircraft you're in to crash. In the Flight Decks of today's aircraft, open communication and the ability to respectfully question authority are essential cognitive and interpersonal skills every crew member must learn so as a team they can mitigate the unforgiving risks inherent in their complex environment. Thirty years ago flight deck culture was entrenched in hierarchical command and control management. This is very similar to the legacy of waterfall command and control leadership styles that is impeding agile transformations around the globe. 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.

The Need for Metrics - Measuring the Ongoing Value of a Project Establishing metrics that measure the project´s value, both during execution and at the end of the project, is critical. Also, the true value of the project may not be known until well after the project has been completed. Executives, clients and stakeholders today are re-thinking the definition of project success. While time and cost considerations are still important, emphasis must also be placed upon the value that the project will deliver. Establishing metrics that measure the project's value, both during execution and upon completion, is critical. The true value of the project may not be known until well after the project has been completed. Each value metric is project-specific and requires different value attributes as selected by the project manager, client, and stakeholders, at the onset of the project. Bear in mind, it is possible that agreement on the value metric(s) may not be reached. In such cases, different value metrics may be required for each individual dashboard audiences. In the near future, each project team will have a specialist assigned with expertise in dashboard design. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Shared Knowledge is Power - Building a Project Management Community As project managers, we do not deliver. We do not cut code or build bridges. We work with teams and stakeholders to ensure that delivery is done. The job of the project manager is about working with people, breaking down barriers, reducing risk, and managing change. To do this well, it's not about 'know what,' it's about 'know how.' Better access to knowledge-and the support to use it wisely-means faster, cheaper, and higher quality projects. At Fujitsu, our vision is about providing the ability for project managers to share knowledge and experience by interacting with other members of the community, in agile and dynamic client-facing environment. Equally as important is taking that knowledge back into the organisation. This supports the individual in developing their professional career, and supports the organization in improving its project delivery. Understanding your customers' changing organisation is difficult enough. Combined with your own ever-changing organisation and the faster pace of agile project delivery, we need to leverage more than just our own knowledge and experience. A strong project management community driven by knowledge sharing may be the answer you need. The size of your organisation is irrelevant - everyone can benefit from a knowledge based community. It is how you shape the community to meet your needs that will deliver the benefits.Learning Objectives Better access to knowledge-and the support to use it wisely-means faster, cheaper, and higher quality projects.

Effective Communication: The Make or Break for Projects Most, if not all, of the problems we encounter while managing our projects can be traced to a communications breakdown of some sort, perhaps even an overall lack of effective communication. When you communicate effectively, you are better able to interface with others and develop stronger relationships. This lively and engaging presentation will help to emphasize the importance of good communication within the project management arena and provide you with the whys, whats, whens and hows of effective project communication.

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.'
