Live Webinar – July 23rd, 2014 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm EDT
Offered by MPUG WebnLearn ( REP 1369 )
Duration 1 hour 1 PDU/1 CDU Member Free/ Member only event

Learn how world-class schedulers build proactive schedules for all sizes of projects that show actual progress-to-date; reflect estimates to completion; predict completion dates and total cost estimates; and enable corrective action and better decision-making.

Ultimately, the purpose of the project schedule is to enhance the chances of successful project delivery. To be useful then, a proactive schedule should always reflect the true intention (both scope and time) AND actual progress of the project. It should clearly communicate work and priorities to project team members, provide accurate forecasting of remaining effort and durations and identify variances before it is too late for corrective action.

This presentation provides a primer to the principles of Proactive Scheduling as well a practical approach to deploying these principles in Microsoft Project and Project Server.

Presenter: Kenneth Steiness, (LinkedIn profile) PMP/PMI-SP MCP MCT has worked in the project management and scheduling field for over 16 years, and in over 13 countries worldwide. His focus is on process and the discipline of PPM and scheduling whenever he engages with clients to deploy Microsoft Project and Project Server or teaches classes on the subject. Kenneth has presented at world-wide conferences for Microsoft and PMI; and to many Microsoft Project User Groups over the years

Establishing a PMO (Project/Program/Portfolio Management Office) is considered to be a best practice approach to improving the value an organization can receive from its project investments.

Why is it then, that a study, conducted in 2005, of 750 organizations worldwide indicated that over 75% of organizations that set up a PMO shut it down within three years because it did not demonstrate any added value?

Solution Q invites you to attend a webinar where you will learn key reasons why so many PMOs fail, and gain some valuable knowledge of the critical success factors required to ensure the survival of your PMO.
