Opaque Transparency: The Silent Project Killer A 2014 report from the Standish Group showed that a staggering 31.1% of software projects get cancelled before completion. Further, over 50% of projects will cost nearly 200% of their original estimates, and only 16% of software projects are completed on time and on budget. The report cited user collaboration, executive level support and clearly stated requirements as key contributors to success, but what's the common denominator? Having led many public and private classes, and consulted with many corporations, I hear the same pain points over and over. Sharing these pains (which everyone of course believes are unique to them!) will hopefully lead to more project managers pushing for support, executives introspecting a little deeper and more realistically, and team members asking for more project transparency! I've summed up the major project pains from folks mentioned above in to one collective term: transparency. Transparency means clarity, and there are many opportunities from day one of a project to introduce clarity, yet so often these opportunities are missed one after the other. This makes the lack of transparency a silent project killer, slowly choking any chance of success and lending itself to the sad statistics shown above. Thankfully, there is hope! A clear and realistic project charter gets things off to a good start, but it needs to be followed up with other key processes. This presentation talks about those key processes, and more importantly, the fact that brilliant processes are useless without the right people employing them.

Growth is a Thinking Game As we learn from the times and think forward, there are a lot of actions we can take to ready ourselves, our businesses, and our customers for growth. The great reset isn't a new normal. It's a shift in our mindset that pushes us to pause and reflect on the past, respond to the present, and rethink the future. What can we control? Our attitude. Our actions. What can we do together to get back to growth? Energize our teams. Set a clear direction. Get closer to our customers. In this fresh perspective keynote, Tiffani shares what it takes to stay relevant and build a bias for existing customers to enable continued growth together - and make smarter business decisions now and in the future. 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.

Managing Agile and Waterfall Projects: A Hybrid Approach With the growing interest in Agile approaches, how can we take a measured approach? Organizations can't just simply drop everything to become 100% Agile. Not only are hybrid approaches acceptable, they are common in transitioning organizations. We need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both the traditional and Agile methods to find the best combination that gives us the best of both worlds. This presentation will cover how to combine both approaches into a hybrid model, and help you understand the general criteria of how one approach would be chosen over another.Learning Objectives This presentation will cover how to combine both approaches into a hybrid model, and help you understand the general criteria of how one approach would be chosen over another.

Driving Business Agility as a Leader at Scale Today's fast-paced business world demands leaders that can adapt to market demands and capitalize on opportunities. In a start-up mode or innovation lab, this seems possible. In a large, multi-national organization... not so much.Leaders get accused of being part of the frozen or pressurized middle where they have potentially unrealistic expectations from above. They can be viewed as overly bureaucratic or 'command and control' from the agile teams they work with. The reason is a mismatch between the tools and thinking of traditional management and the problem space of business agility. Come and see how to thrive as a leader in this new paradigm and the tools that can allow you to adapt for present and future business demands.

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.'

We Don't Make Servers ...We Make Services: Implementing and Managing IT Services Implementing and Managing IT Services Being a service provider demands knowledge of who the customer is, what you as a provider offer customers (services), and assurance that those services provide value. Customers care about quality of service (e.g. the meal), and generally have little concern about the origin or performance of the ingredients that make it up (e.g. who does the maintenance on the grill). This session will discuss the concept of IT Service Management (ITSM), being a service provider, and the associated challenges, risks and critical success factors. You will learn about the importance, benefits and challenges of implementing and managing a formal IT Service Management (ITSM) practice for your IT organization and, ultimately, your company.
