Software is the essential nervous system of every enterprise. But software is expensive to create or buy, and even more expensive to operate, support, maintain, enhance and extend.

Despite all that cost, levels of business satisfaction with software are generally poor – very few business managers or users are genuinely delighted by their software systems.

IT needs a new, holistic focus on what is really meant by “quality” in software systems. That is what the total experience of ownership offers.

Discussion Topics:

  • How to identify all the stakeholders in a software system over the life of the system
  • How to understand the requirements of all stakeholders
  • How to measure and improve the total experience of ownership for all your software systems

Join Andy Kyte, (LinkedIn profile) VP & Gartner Fellow an.d learn to improve the total cost of ownership for your organization

Setting Your Program Up for Success

The skills needed for program management can differ significantly from those needed for project management.

Program management is about maximizing the benefits realized with constrained resources in a changing environment; project management is focused on the efficient creation of a defined deliverable.

In this session will address some of the differences between the skillsets, and will identify three of the most essential, while successfully balancing the four inter-related management skills needed for successful program management: project, program, portfolio, and operations.

In this webcast, you will discover the tools to initiate a program successfully in a manner that will enable benefits establishment, realization management, and analysis prior to and during execution.

Lisa Wolf will show you how to set realistic objectives and performance measures. The three key tools for program success we will discuss in this webcast are:

Learn:

  • Creating a program roadmap
  • Identifying what is needed for organizational strategy and program alignment
  • Creating an environmental assessment

These skills are only three key tools for program success, to be used within an entire program lifecycle, but can serve as a foundation for success.

The use of these tools will vary based on the type and complexity of the program; effective and strategic program management can often depend on how well these foundational elements are executed to ensure appropriate program definition, benefits delivery, and closure.

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
