Behavioral Aspects of Leadership Leadership requires absolute trust of your team and others. The objective of this presentation is to demonstrate strategies for integrating behavior aspects of leadership into our current methodologies. PMPs are taught that project managers must balance management and leadership. Leadership is vital to success, but project managers rarely have time to even think about, let alone demonstrate it. Many project managers end up confused and frustrated by the challenges to improve leadership skills. This video demonstrates strategies for integrating behavioral aspects of leadership into our current methodologies. 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.

Is Your Daily Scrum Dysfunctional? The 15-Minute Daily planning event was made popular by Scrum but has this degenerated into a status meeting in your organization? Does it last well beyond 15 minutes? Do team members say the same thing every day but avoid focus on the Sprint Goal? If you answered yes to any of these questions, join us for this session on the Daily Scrum. We will identify Daily Scrum or "Stand Up" dysfunctions and provide tips to remedy these in order to get back on track. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Educational Agility in the Modern World. Why School Leaders Need Agile/ SCRUM Strategies Our world is changing by the second. Each day, we race to catch up with mounting responsibilities, media streams, and new projects. As educational leaders, we work extensively to explore one pressing question: How do we wisely educate amidst a sea of constant change? In an era where information is plentiful, new strategies are in demand for learners. Schools, teachers, parents, and students need tools for centering ourselves and the important work we do.

Illuminating the Hidden - Design for Sustainability as a Path Toward More Sustainable Products, More Sustainable Thinking, More Sustainable Corporate Cultures Consumers and other purchasers understand now more than ever that there are hidden impacts in the products and services they purchase. Leading companies now realize that they need to incorporate sustainability into their product development processes. To do that, they need product development teams who know how to 'think' in terms of sustainability, and fostering such thinking requires shifts bigger than the single product on the shelf - it's about transforming corporate culture. This session will walk through the concepts behind Design for Sustainability. It will highlight as a case study a collaborative partnership between UL Environment and Ingersoll Rand in fostering sustainability thinking in Ingersoll Rand through its product development process. The session will end with a brief overview of steps that companies can take to start incorporating design for sustainability thinking in their organizations.

The Effect of Project Budgeting on Agile Transformations We've all participated in annual budget planning sessions that take weeks to complete, only to find the funding has been cut in half. We've also had to wait for months while decisions are delayed, causing us to delay work and hiring, but the deadlines don't move! And through all this, how do we keep our teams busy and continuously delivering valuable product? This session will discuss challenges with traditional project funding models, present the foundational elements needed for a successful Agile transformation, and discuss how to coach an organization through the transition.

Giant's Shoulders - Making Project Connections All projects are a journey to towards a goal. All projects share the characteristics of being a temporary endeavor with a uniqueness of scope or environment that makes them very different from operations type work. The temporariness of the project requires that we manage time - that valuable resource that will consume and surprise us if we don't manage it well. A project schedule is our representation of future time - or future memories - that we build together to provide us with confidence, guidance and measuring points along the journey. A well-built schedule requires three key ingredients: An agreed scope representing the requirements of the stakeholders Estimates of task durations by the performers Solid connections between the tasks - Dependencies and sequencing What you will learn: This session and exercise will focus on that third element - the connections. It is no more or less important than the other two. However it does often provide an opportunity for conversations that can be referred to as 'storming' - in the Tuckman/Jensen model of Team Development (Forming/Storming/Norming/Performing/Adjourning). The game is designed to provide an opportunity to practice and improve our ability to identify connections/ associations/links between famous individuals from the Arts, Science and Craft worlds. We can use the same skill and ability to identify connections/ dependencies/ sequences between our project tasks.

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.

DevOps: The Next Evolution of Lean and Agile What is DevOps? Is it a new role? Self-service? More communication/empathy between Dev and Ops? Continuous integration/continuous deployment tools? Practices like traffic shaping and feature toggles? Culture change? Most of those answers are not wrong, but they fail to capture the heart of it. At its heart, DevOps is simply empowered development teams taking responsibility for how their product performs in production. If so, then this is not a new story. It's a continuation of the lean/agile trend which was the beginning of the end for quality assurance and business analysis as separate silos. This talk applies the lessons learned from leading lean/agile transformations to the current ongoing change toward DevOps. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Once Upon A Project - Stories and Their Influence on Project Performance What are the stories people share about your project? Do the stories promote success or failure? Do they indicate engagement and respect, or disappointment and exclusion? Every project is a story, and the story can unfold as one of great success or crushing failure. The most effective projects use storylines that promote integration and excellence. The most successful project leaders are able to harness the power of stories to build and maintain a strong team, focus on core values, ensure effective reviews, and openly address risk. This session will consider the use of stories for project success, and suggest the most effective leaders are skilled at the art of story.
