Data Data Everywhere – For what purpose? Which data is crucial to driving your organisation? How do we Analyse data to drive improvements? Course Overview Organisations generally collect enormous amounts of data. However, what data or information is really needed? How do we present the data that we have collected so that it is openly available and can be understood and used to drive the business? Is the data collected driving change? Structure of the Course This one-day workshop will enable participants to gain the necessary skills to collect, analyse and present data in an understanding and meaningful way and assist the decision-making process. It looks at how to translate data into useful and meaningful information that can contribute towards real problem solving, effective performance indicators, leading to the development of effective KPI’s, among others. Alternatively, if an organisation is in the process of selecting data collection methods and appropriate analysis, then this workshop will also help. Data analysis skills are essential to providing honest and accurate analysis, determining statistical significance, reliability, and validity on which to base their decisions, whether it is to improve quality, profitability, efficiency, or competitiveness. Improper statistical analyses distort findings and can mislead or negatively influence decision-making and the perception of the data collected. The correct analysis of data is a process of systematically applying statistical and / or logical techniques to describe and illustrate, condense, and recap, and evaluate data so that it can be used effectively. This workshop provides essential learning for staff at all levels of the organisation. Course content: 1. Data Types Discrete data Continuous data 2.

Measurement of Project Management Success: From Making Sense to Making Cents This presentation suggests that there are four plateaus and a process by which to measure the return on investment that organizations gain from the implementation and maintenance of the project management discipline. How do you measure the success (or lack thereof) of the project management discipline? This video suggests that there are four plateaus and a process by which to measure the ROI gained from project management implementation and maintenance: Plateau 1: Comprehension and Acceptance Plateau 2: Application Plateau 3: Influence on the Business Plateau 4: Monetary Return on Investment 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.

Scaling with Simplicity - How to Eliminate Complexity in Large Agile Programs As agile thought leaders debate if agile at scale is really "agile" many of us who work in the trenches understand that scaling is sometimes necessary. We work in legacy environments and on complex codebases that require coordination. Our organizations may be working towards independent teams and a microservices architecture, but even the migrations required to get there demand scaling. This talk will help participants reduce complexity in scaled organizations and simplify their program framework. Attendees will receive actionable recommendations to help them execute more efficiently starting today. With a heavy focus on eliminating dependencies and effective planning, the presentation will help attendees bring simplicity to even the most complex scaled programs. Interspersed through the presentation will be real-life examples of successes and failures so attendees can understand how to put ideas into action. Attendees will also receive tips on influencing leadership to adopt these recommendations, empowering them to drive sustainable change. Key takeaways: How to simplify a program's operating model Tips for eliminating dependencies and managing through dependencies that can't be cut How to overcome two problems no amount of planning can solve for: bad requirements and unstable priorities Strategies to reduce the impact of prioritization changes How to influence the change necessary to build a better managed program
