The PM and Enterprise Connection: How Project Managers 'Connect the Dots' Project/program management requires a number of soft- and hard-skills. One of the most critical skills for the PM to bring to an initiative is the ability to connect on multiple fronts. The most successful initiatives are those where the PM is skilled at connecting people, concepts, processes, and practices. Joanna Durand, Managing Director at Citi, Chair of the Citi Program Management Council and head of the Citi Global Program Management Office, will talk about the project and program manager's critical role as a 'connector.' 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.

Make Better Project Decisions with Project Online Projects drive business success. The more information you have about those projects, the better your business will be able to retain customers, gain market share, and be competitive. Microsoft's Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) Solution, often referred to as Project Online, is an ideal way to manage projects. I frequently hear employees say they don't know what projects are active, the status of projects, and they don't know if they are at resource capacity or have idle resources. These questions and more are easily answered with Project Online. Through explanations and demonstrations, you will see how individuals in different roles use Project Online including team members, project managers, resource managers, executives, and PMO staff. You will learn about the capabilities to manage a mix of waterfall and agile projects and how information flows up to dashboard reports. You will learn about the project manager's enhanced capabilities when using Project Professional. The Project Online solution fits businesses of all sizes, from firms with just a handful of employees to multi-national companies.In this presentation we will cover common questions such as 'What software do I need to use Project Online?' and 'Why Should I Choose Microsoft's Enterprise Solution?' References will be provided to help you share answers with others. Attendees will have the option to reach out to the speaker for additional questions.

The Need to Focus on Business Benefits and Value For decades, project managers were trained to focus on the creation of the deliverables defined in the project's requirement, often with little regard for the expected business benefits and business value. This is now changing as companies have a better understanding of business benefits and value and are updating their methodologies and frameworks. Some frameworks, such as Agile and SCRUM, appear to do a better job identifying than traditional project management practices tracking and reporting business benefits and value. 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.
