Essential Skills for Positive Project Leadership How can you approach a difficult conversation to achieve the desired outcome? This video addresses the importance of having a plan when a conversation with a project stakeholder may be difficult and involve bad news, major changes, or a performance issue. 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.

Data-Informed Decision Making in Projects: On-Demand Project management professionals constantly need to make project decisions that could be decisive for the outcome of their projects but often do not have sufficient information available to confidently make decisions. As a result, projects are increasingly falling short of delivering on their promises, requiring, more than ever, a data-informed approach to decision-making in the area of project delivery and management. The rapid growth of data comes with various challenges though, which consequently needs consideration of various critical factors for a successful implementation of a data-informed decision-making process in organizations and projects. What You Will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Describe and understand the relevant methods and techniques to identify, acquire, and analyze relevant data points for decision making in projects Articulate analytical questions to focus on the real problems Identify potential shortfalls and gaps in project decision-making and apply actions to mitigate them Introduction to Data-Informed Decision Making The different types of decisions in projects Data-informed decision-making framework Shortcomings with traditional decision-making models Understanding the value of data for project delivery Issues in project management and how data can help solve them The DIKW Pyramid (Data, information, knowledge, wisdom) Types of data in projects Applying Data Analytics Understanding Data Analytics Levels of Data Analytics Data-Informed vs. Data-Driven Challenges and How to Address Them Project data availability and collection Data quality Behavioral blockers and bias Skills and Techniques Data literacy and data fluency Communicating for informed decision-making Monitoring and evaluating project decisions Implementing Data-Informed Decision Making Decision-making strategy and governance Project data culture Continuously improving decision quality Future Outlook for Decision-Making in Projects Data and AI Digital Decisioning

The Role of an Agile PM within a Digital Transformation Program Historically, we have associated project managers with traditional delivery efforts, so is the term 'Agile Project Manager' an oxymoron? Do we need Agile PMs within our organization? If yes, what does an Agile Project Manager do within a digital transformation initiative? Agile is no longer a development framework or methodology used solely by software teams; ever since the pandemic, more organizations are using Agile principles in their digital transformation efforts. How an Agile PM becomes critical to align team members to deliver on digital transformation goals Ways an Agile PM demonstrates servant leadership to build a self-organized and self-sufficient delivery team Mental model differences to embrace agility in the project manager role Success traits needed to serve as an effective Agile project manager
