With the PMBOK® well into its 5th Edition and with roughly 700,000 PMPs using it, it appears that we have covered all the bases in order to improve our project success rates.

But… (and there is a “but”) the failure rate of projects is still too high and (for some reason) we keep doing the same things that result in failure.

This webinar is not about listing superficial reasons for project failures; it is about exploring the underlying causes for these failures and it offers practical ideas on how to improve your project success track record.

Presenter: Ori Schibi (LinkedIn profile) president of PmKonnectors is a visionary leader, communicator, connector and author of  “Managing Stakeholder Expectations for Project Success”.   Ori offers practical new ways of managing and dealing with projects, programs, business analysis and PMOs  including driving process efficiencies, software implementations, Agile Transformations, and project recoveries.

The State of Project Management Survey highlighted resource management as one of the most difficult but important areas for developing project management maturity.

Does your organisation have a very colourful and complex spreadsheet trying to juggle work versus people? 

Another key concern was the quality of project reports and the time taken to deliver regular Status or Highlight Reports.

How much of your time is consumed doing this low value activity? 

In this webinar Baz will look at how Microsoft PPM can provide significant help in report creation and resource management.

  • Produce create looking reports by project, programme or for the whole portfolio.
  • Analyse your true resource utilisation versus availability based on the latest published schedules.

The independent Forrester report provides further financial return on investment data and business benefits realised by organisations that have deployed Office365 PPM.

This webinar will discuss the real benefits real organistions have achieved by deploying Microsoft PPM.
