Governance Forum - 190724

Gamification of Governance: Increasing PM productivity and governance adherence through incentive and professional development
present by Lisa Favors, Ersnt & Young (EY)/Associate Director

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

Getting PMs to follow governance is not an easy task. Workload, project pace, and constant competing priorities can make methodical project management best practices fall by the way side. Structured recognition, reward and development programs can help incentivize governance adherence, improving project management rigor, team growth, reporting cadence and delivery. In this event we will share some “take to work tomorrow” tactics to gamify governance proving successful at Ernst & Young.
