Recipes for Strategic and Agile Portfolio Management Sara Nunez is co-author of Organizational Project Management: Linking Strategy and Projects and a recognized PMO Leader in the 2014 AMA PM Handbook. In this presentation, she will show you how to take action and transform the portfolio management discipline in your PMO function, taking into account changes in the marketplace, digital business, and new regulations. 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.

Project Management Metrics, Key Performance Indicators, and Dashboards: On-Demand The ultimate purpose of metrics and dashboards is not to provide more information, but to provide the right information to the right person at the right time using the correct media and in a cost effective manner. This is certainly a challenge. As computer technology has grown, so has the ease by which information can be generated and presented to management and stakeholders. Today, everyone seems concerned about information overload. Unfortunately, the real issue is non-information overload. In other words, there are too many useless reports which cannot easily be read and which provide readers with too much information, much of which may have no relevance. We are now struggling to find better ways of communicating. Our focus today is on the unique needs of the receiver of the information. The need to make faster and better decisions mandates better information. Humans have a variety of ways by which they can absorb information. We must address all of these ways in the selection of the metrics and the design of the dashboards. The three most important words in a stakeholder's vocabulary are, 'Making informed decisions.' This is usually the intent of effective stakeholder relations management. Unfortunately, this cannot be accomplished without an effective information system based upon meaningful and informative metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs). For decades we believed that the only information that needed to be passed on to the client and the stakeholders were information related to time and cost. Today, we realize that true project status cannot be determined from time and cost alone. Each project may require its own unique metrics and key performance indicators. The future of project management may very well be metric-driven project management. Information design has finally come of age. Effective communications is the essence of information design. Today, we have many small companies that are specialists in information design. Larger companies may maintain their own specialist team and call these people graphic designers, information architects or interaction designers. These people maintain expertise in the visual display of both quantitative and qualitative information necessary for informed decision-making. Traditional communications and information flow has always been based upon tables, charts and indexes that were hopefully organized properly by the designer. Today, information or data graphics combines points, lines, charts, symbols, images, words, numbers, shades and a symphony of colors to convey the right message easily. What we know with certainty is that dashboards and metrics are never an end in themselves. They go through continuous improvement and are constantly updated. In a project management environment, each receiver of information can have different requirements and may request different information during the life cycle of the project. What You Will Learn Gain a better understanding of why metrics management has grown Develop a deeper understanding that there are different types of metrics and KPIs, and that not all metrics should be reported to the client or stakeholders Understand how effective metrics, when combined with dashboards, can facilitate the decision-making process Understand the complexities with dashboard design Be able to identify how many metrics are necessary and how too many metrics can create communication Understand the need for value-based metrics Understand the critical issues with the implementation of a metrics management program Understanding Value-Based Metrics Targets and Measurements Graphical Displays of Metrics and KPIs Understanding Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Understanding Metrics The Driving Forces for Better Metrics Changing Times: The Growth of PM 2.0 Understanding Dashboards Metric Management Systems Metric Management Systems Benefits of a Metric Management Program

Project Management and Developing Our Future Generations The growth of the project management industry over the past ten years has led to over 40% of developed countries' GDP being spent on new changes and deliveries. The pool of successful project managers has become smaller, and so a concept has gathered momentum: Introducing PM to students at an earlier age to allow them to better understand the importance of the behaviour and ethics needed for their own future careers.
