Delivering Successful Projects …Every Time - 2017601Hilton Garden Inn-Atlanta-Perimeter Center Date: Monday, January 30 and Tuesday, January 31, 2017 Earn 18 PDUs! PDU Breakdown: Technical: 18 Leadership: 0 Strategic: 0 Description: What are the most important project management skills for deliveringsuccessful projects every time? As a starting point, project management practitioners should focus on developing skills from the PMI Talent Triangle: technical project management skills, strategic and business management skills, and leadership skills. They should also emphasize and apply principles from A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). However, not all processes can be applied to every project at every organization. The successful project manager recognizes the need to adapt practices from the PMBOK® Guide to individual initiatives within their own organization’s process and culture.
Research studies have identified the reasons for project failure and reasons for project success.PMI’s Pulse Research identifies a number of key factors affecting project outcomes. For example, 47% of unsuccessful projects fail to meet goals due to poor requirements management. To address this, it’s critical for organizations to implement standardized requirements management processes in collaboration with stakeholders. There is also the need to develop a formal project management methodology, implement standardized tools and infrastructure through a Program Management Office (PMO), and ensure executive management support for projects. PMI’s Pulse research also shows that having an actively engaged executive sponsors is the top driver of project success.
This workshop describes a recommended approach to ensure consistent delivery of successful projects by focusing on major contributors to project success, including requirements management processes, formal (agile and/or traditional) project management methodology and standardized tools and infrastructure, and executive management support. Requirements management is an essential part of the standard for project management. Executive management support can make or break a project! While Agile Project Management processes are being introduced to replace many traditional project management processes resulting in great improvements in project success rates, formal project development/management methodology, and standardized tools and infrastructure continue to help make successful project delivery a repeatable process. These critical success factors, when implemented and achieved in collaboration with stakeholders, can lead to consistent delivery of successful projects. This seminar has previously been offered by PMI SeminarsWorld and at PMI Global Congresses. |
