The Project Management Odyssey Project Management is composed of many elements. So many, in fact, that it is hard at times to get the big picture. There are more than 100,000 books on Amazon under Project Management. There are three main certification bodies and the latest version of the US standard, PMI's PMBOK® Guide is composed of 5 process groups, 10 knowledge areas and 47 steps. The complexity needs to be simplified. For this presentation, we have gone back to one of the original stories by Homer - the Odyssey. Odysseus and his men were tired after 10 years of fighting and looking forward the journey home. This idea of a journey is at the heart of each and every project. A journey to somewhere else, another place. A beginning, a middle, and an end. We will use this journey to illustrate the correct way to approach any project. In doing so we hope to assist you in retaining the key ingredients for doing projects better in your equally challenging environment. 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.

Why Government Leaders Must Embrace Agile Agile is a pathway to innovation in many Government agencies. It is a response to challenges in Information Technology where traditional software development processes often did not yield expected results. This resulted in many projects exceeding budgets and timelines, and ignoring needed requirement changes. At its core, Agile is about priorities, placing individuals and interactions above processes and tools; working products above comprehensive documentation; customer collaboration above contract negotiation; and responding to change above following a plan. Leaders can embrace this approach to improve processing times, and coordination among development teams and users. This presentation provides practical steps on how leaders can better understand and support the innovation practices introduced by Agile. 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.
