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. It's that simple. 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.

Kanban: Sustainability for Your Teams, Agility for Your Business Credibility is not granted with a job title. Authority, maybe, but credibility must be earned. Leaders are losing credibility in Agile adoptions. They seek training and education for teams asking them to use Scrum or another Agile framework. The very same leaders then announce programs, policies or structures that directly contradict Agile and Scrum values and principles. This can hinder leadership's credibility and subsequently, their organization's Agile adoption. In this session, we explore some of these common leadership mistakes and how they can be avoided for greater success with Agile and Scrum.

Modern Agile: Discovering Better Ways to Be Awesome Genuine agility is enormously effective in helping us achieve our dreams. The trouble is, Agile has grown into a complex tangle of roles and rituals, frameworks and tools, processes and certifications. We need a return to simplicity. Modern Agile is here to help.Designed for people in many domains (not just IT), Modern Agile is defined by four guiding principles: Make People Awesome, Make Safety a Prerequisite, Experiment & Learn Rapidly and Deliver Value Continuously. Understanding and deeply practicing these four principles will help you get better results faster.In this talk I'll share how these four (principles power world-famous companies and how they can help you work with greater speed, simplicity, safety and success.

The Agile PMO: Value-Driven Agile Project Management Conclusive research findings show that approximately 50% of PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet, we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations wasting money, resources and most important wasting time. In this presentation we focus on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general. We analyze the essential model for PMO value enablement which answers: • What is the strategic role of the value driven PMO in business • How to ensure effective streamlined delivery • How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities • How to manage resource allocation Key take away: a PMO must deliver value to the organization constantly. Value isn't templates, tools and processes. Rather, it is the ability to finish the right projects faster! This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

When is Your Agile Transformation Done? After over a decade of agile transformations. many organizations have several years of agile experience of agile are naturally looking for signs that the change is complete. Attention turns to the level of skill or maturity an organization needs in order to declare the transformation a success. As a result. models of agile maturity have emerged that promise to somehow measure how agile you are.The good news is that agile. by definition. should be iteratively delivering value from the moment a transformation starts. Looking back. your ability to deliver has already changed immeasurably. You are already faster. more focused. and delivering a product with higher quality. The bad news is that you have only just started your journey. Change itself has changed. as Gary Hamel said. What looks mature today will be 'bare essentials' tomorrow.Using the concept of Wardley Maps. we will talk about what agile maturity looks like today. and where agile maturity will go in the future. We will learn how iterative value delivery is the price to pay to move along the experience curve. The more frequently you deliver value. the faster you move along the experience curve. By introducing a model of increasing agility. you will be able to map out the path of your transformation. filling in any gaps that you may have and beginning to understand what direction your transformation may take you in the future. What you will Learn Key Takeaways: Differentiate between maturity models and development models. and apply the right model in the right situation Learn how to apply Wardley Mapping to your agile transformation strategy
