Online Webinar – Recorded at DevOpsCon 2016 (December)
Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free
Provider:   DevOpsCon The Conference for Continuous Delivery, Microservices, Docker, Clouds & Lean Business

  • This talk isn’t about mythical silver bullets or vague philosophies.
  • This talk is about taking a fresh look at proven Lean techniques that already work in high-performing IT organizations!

We all love the aspirational DevOps talks about companies achieving blistering speed and dazzling nimbleness.

But improving your own organization’s performance – from where they are now to performance levels equal to the industry leaders – seems like a very long and difficult road.

  • What is missing in most organizations?
    • A repeatable system that empowers teams to find and fix their own problems.

This is a prescriptive talk about empowering and transforming organizations using a methodical — and totally reasonable – Kaizen (Continuous Improvement) approach.

Damon Edwards (LinkedIn profile) will look at ways of combining known techniques like value stream mapping, Lean waste analysis, and improvement kata in order to fix organizational, process, and tooling problems.

Live Webinar – November 29th, 2017 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm EST
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
Provider: MPUG WebnLearn ( REP 1369 )

In over 10 years of developing tools and providing services to clients with Master Schedules, Dan Friedrich has become  a Master Schedule “Whisperer,” helping organizations with some of the largest Master Schedules ever created (8 levels of Masters nesting).

Dan helps  others to clean up any issues with their Master Schedules, visualize them, consolidate and refactor them, and adopt practices to keep them running clean.

In this session Dan will provide guidance that should prove useful whether or not you have the ideal tools, including topics such as:

  • When and why should you use Master Schedules in the first place?
  • How to avoid doing things “behind Project’s back” that Project would block as a schedule conflict if it “saw” it?
  • How to create a circular reference in five minutes or less (yes, we will), and find and fix it?
  • When should you be using 64-bit Project EXCLUSIVELY
    • But almost nobody does?
  • The importance of respecting project interdependencies within the top-level Master Schedule boundaries — and what happens when you don’t?
  • How to think about Master Schedule modular structure options, and when you should refactor them?
  • How can you maintain clean links?
    • The Inuit have 20 words for “snow” – Dan has 20 words for “bad external link”
  • What’s the difference between working with a Master stand-alone vs. on Project Server or Project Online?
