January 2022 - Breakfast Meeting - The Project Management Journey (.5 Strategic/.5 Leadership PDU's)

Presentation Synopsis:

Frequently we hear from clients, “We’d like you to help us mature our PMO, can you get us there in the next 3 – 6 months?”  Why is it that organizations think they can fit maturity into their desired duration?  This session will discuss the Project Management Journey and walk through the challenges and experiences every organization faces over time as their project delivery function matures. We established the Project Management Journey to help organizational leaders understand that it takes time to mature your PMO or Project Delivery function.  One of the definitions of mature in the Merriam-Webster dictionary is; “of or relating to a condition of full development.”  Each organization will have its own expectations for what full development means for their PMO but most likely it won’t be reached within 3-6 months.

Risk and Risk Language (1 Strategic PDU)

 

Learning to "speak risk" is a significant undertaking in some organizations.  But it's also an amazing opportunity.  By becoming the resident risk linguist, we as project managers can assume a mantle of authority without asking for it.  We have the ability to build a shared understanding of terms of art, and thus become the internal resident experts on the topic. This presentation affords us the ability to start down the road toward a new risk language. 

Learning Objectives & Outcomes
Upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify at least three starting points to build a risk language
  2. Build alliances within our organizational project communities
  3. Communicate more effectively with our clients and management

Project Management – It’s as easy as pie (pizza) (Self-Claim PDU)

When something is simple or easy to accomplish we often say it’s a piece of cake or it’s as easy as pie.  With Project Management we’ve seemingly gone in the opposite direction.  We unnecessarily complicate project delivery.  We can all learn a lesson or two from the experience of making a pizza.   In this session, PMO Joe will compare and contrast delivering a project with making a pizza to help us all learn how to simplify and successfully deliver projects, with pepperoni or not!
