6:00 pm	Governance (Virtual) Forum - 260325 Webinar "Turning Innovation into Delivery: Practical Governance Systems for Program Managers" as presented by Krunal Patel, Technical Program Manager & Independent Industry Researcher The Governance Forum provides value to the PMI Atlanta community by offering participants: Discussion of field-tested best practices, Decisions frameworks to assess culture and apply optimal strategy, Key takeaways to “take to work tomorrow” to maximize realization of value through introduction and standardization of best practices in the oversight and execution of projects, programs, and portfolios. Presentation Details This session explores how program managers can build governance systems that accelerate—rather than slow down—the delivery of complex technology programs. Drawing from experience managing 10+ programs across semiconductor manufacturing, automotive electronics, and consumer technology, the presentation focuses on practical frameworks, decision-making tools, and governance structures that enable teams to move from innovation to shipped products at speed. Best suited for intermediate to advanced project and program managers who lead technology-driven programs and want to modernize their governance approach. Key Takeaways Governance is a design problem—the Agile-Stage-Gate Hybrid gives you structure and speed. Monte Carlo simulation, FMEA, and DOE are governance tools that bring data rigor to program decisions. Parallel beats sequential—front-load risk, run parallel paths, and kill weak options early. Global programs need governance that matches their complexity—change control boards, dual-sourcing, and compliance-integrated gates. AI is a governance accelerator, not a replacement.
