Much research and many popular books have been directed toward understanding the pursuit and achievement of mastery.

A common understanding has emerged that mastery is more directly dependent upon the amount of time devoted toward deliberate practice.

In mature skill areas, mastery can require 10,000 hours or more of deliberate practice.  An organization or team filled with members who are committed toward achieving mastery is both desirable and elusive regardless of the industry or field.

The key to achievement of mastery on an organizational or team level is individual motivation.  Historically, most motivational research and advice has focused on extrinsic motivation.

Recently, research has focused more and more on the power of intrinsic motivation.

Intrinsically motivating teams can seem complicated and even contradictory.  However, understanding the practical sources of intrinsic motivation can help managers apply the principles to real-world situations and increase their team’s drive to achieve mastery.

Join David Kachoui (LinkedIn profile), Kimberly Johnson (LinkedIn profile), &  Brian Cohn (LinkedIn profile)  and discover the power of  Intrinsic Motivation.

This presentation is on the NEW textbook ‘Forecast Scheduling with Microsoft Project Online2018’ by Eric Uyttewaal.

Eric invented the ‘Principle of Dynamic Scheduling’ stating: If one thing changes in your project, you should have to change only a single cell in your project schedule.

The scheduling engine will then recalculate the rest of the schedule and forecast finish and total cost. Using this principle, you can minimize your effort when updating schedules, which is hard during the busy execution phase.

This principle led to a second ‘Principle of Forecast Scheduling’ that states: If you set up your project schedule as a valid, dynamic, robust model of the project, it will continuously forecast your project. With these two principles in mind,

Eric reviewed all features in Project Online and revised his 86 best-practices for real-world projects.

By following these, you will take your project scheduling to the next level. You could use the corresponding add-in, called Forecast Scheduling App, to guide you through this process.

You can now even become certified as a Forecast Scheduler on three levels of modeling: Time, Workloads and Costs. These levels build on one another in the order listed. PMOs will have a framework, a textbook, a checklist and an add-in to analyze all schedules in their portfolio and provide detailed feedback to schedule owners.

Why are YOU not forecasting your projects?

Key learning points:

• What is your aim: Model the Time, Workload and/or Cost dimension of your project?
• The principle of Dynamic Scheduling and Forecast scheduling demonstrated in real-life projects
• What benefits to expect from Dynamic Scheduling and Forecast scheduling?

Eric will give demonstrations in Microsoft Project Online. There will be a special discount on the textbook and on add-ins for those who attend the live webinar.

Learn How To Manage Knowledge In Projects

Knowledge management is the systematic management of information and learning.

It turns personal information and experience into collective knowledge that can be widely shared throughout an organisation and a profession.

Find out what industry leaders are saying:

• Eddie Obeng – Learning Director, Pentacle the Virtual Business School
  • If there was one thing to do, I would say continue to learn, continue to share and keep changing what you do in the knowledge that whatever you did yesterday is probably slowly becoming out of date for tomorrow.
• Andrew Holmes – Head of Enterprise Program Management Office, Silicon Valley Bank
  • I think it’s really important that project managers and programme managers continue to learn and share their knowledge on an ongoing basis
  • I think you need to understand is that the experience of running different types of projects in different cultures and different industries and different organisations is absolutely essential to building that knowledge
  • Equally continue to grow your understanding by reading beyond the subject, taking broader interest in things around you and weaving that in to project and programme management.
