This effort is driving the US federal government's ability to deliver on key aspects of its management strategy, and it is also a first step towards transforming its capability to drive a focus on customer satisfaction, no different than industry, via reliable project and program delivery. As a catalyst for professionalizing and formalizing PM talent and overall capacity, this session will also include examples from around the globe of how the public sector is rising to meet these challenges.

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.

Out of This World Project Management! & NASA's International Space Apps Challenge Partnering with the Project Management Institute Educational Foundation (PMIEF), the Space Foundation integrated tools and techniques from PMIEF's PM Toolkit for Teachers, for student field trips to the Space Foundation Discovery Center's Mars Robotics Laboratory (MRL). Students develop, plan and execute a mission to Mars using PM techniques, in one of four mission categories: Searching for Life; Searching for Water; Geology: Lava Tube Search for a Mars Base; Engineering Design Challenge. Year one of the grant is complete. For year two, students from Pune, India, will be conducting missions from their school, driving rovers remotely in the MRL.

VPMMA: Building Our Future Project Management Workforce A tremendous project management talent pool exists but is unknown to many: Since every mission or exercise a military leader is tasked with is a temporary endeavor expected to produce unique goods, services or results, this means they have a significant amount of project management experience.An estimated 58% of the 250,000 service members that transition back into the civilian workforce each year are military leaders, i.e. high enough rank to be consistently tasked with projects, meaning we could consider an additional 145,000 experienced individuals a year for our project management roles! However, these PM candidates lack context about the civilian project environment, which presents a unique opportunity for mentorship, professional development and placement of these talented, experienced, proven project managers.Since January 2018, a collaboration between two project management companies has matched experienced PMs from industry with Military and Veteran PMs entering the profession, with astounding results! In just over a year, the Veteran Project Manager Mentor Alliance (VPMMA) has attracted 200+ participants across 29 states and 5 countries, and built partnerships with industry leading organizations such as Arizona State University, International Institute for Learning, Sensei Project Solutions and PM Master Prep.

Project Management for Non-Project Managers (On-Demand) Individuals who are involved in projects (commissioning, supporting, sponsoring, etc.) may often be unfamiliar with project management. A basic understanding of project management is essential for non-project managers, who are critical stakeholders contributing to project success. This awareness course uses A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and other sources to introduce you to project management vocabulary, concepts, and techniques. It also provides insights into the realities of being a project manager, and opportunities to explore how you can positively impact projects in your own role. What You Will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Identify the benefits of project management Use standard project management terminology Describe characteristics of successful projects, project managers, and high-performing teams Explain various project stakeholder roles, their responsibilities, and the fundamental project management processes Recognize how agile / adaptive practices are useful for certain project life cycles Create a personal action plan for how to support real-world projects within a non-PM role Getting Started Introductions Course structure Course goals and objectives Foundation Concepts Project management overview Strategic value of project management Defining project success Project life-cycle models and governance Project roles and responsibilities Project Initiating and Planning Initiating the project Defining project requirements and scope Developing the project schedule and budget Project Risk Management, Executing, Monitoring, and Closing Understanding, evaluating, and adjusting for risk Honoring the baseline and executing the project Monitoring and controlling the project Closing the project Project Interpersonal Processes Project communication Project team development Conflict management Summary and Next Steps

Recovering Troubled Projects: On-Demand Despite our best intentions, many of the projects that organizations undertake either don't achieve their intended business results or end in complete failure. Most seasoned project managers have had their share of experiences with difficult or troubled projects and unless they are careful, they will encounter more. This workshop does not focus on 'failed' projects but rather on those projects which without appropriate intervention would be headed for failure. Failed projects are those beyond help and which should be terminated. Here we focus on projects that are salvageable. It is an exercise-driven, no-nonsense, professional practice-focused workshop positioning the participant to immediately apply the tools and lessons learned in the classroom. The workshop employs the use of both illustrative and practical/working case studies. Illustrative case studies will examine insights from real-world troubled projects. Participants will be asked to bring descriptions of their own examples of troubled projects on which they're currently working or on which they have worked in the past. A number of these will be used as the basis for the practical/working case studies. The approach builds on and complements the disciplines addressed in Project Management Institute's PMBOK® Guide and also addresses issues that arise when managing projects in a complex environment. What You Will Learn You will learn to: Recognize the value of a structured project recovery process Explain the reasons most projects fail Analyze the causes of a project's troubles Construct a negotiation process to use with key stakeholders Apply an effective strategy to planning the recovery effort Manage, evaluate, and adjust the ongoing recovery effort Foundation Concepts Recognizing a troubled project Defining the project recovery process The Reasons Projects Fail Putting failure in perspective Reviewing management issues Analyzing planning issues Exploring complexity issues Assess the Project Stabilizing the project Determining preliminary Go / No-Go Conducting a detailed recovery assessment Negotiate the Recovery Reviewing the basics of negotiation Setting reasonable expectations Obtaining appropriate PM authority Securing key stakeholder support Plan the Recovery Planning for recoveries Rebuilding the project team Reshaping the project plan Managing parallel activities Planning for change management Implement and Adjust the Project Implementing project recoveries Facilitating change Enabling continuous learning Fostering the project team Sustaining stakeholder engagement
