With the COVID-19 pandemic, risk management is taken with increased interest by professionals, communities and organizations across industry verticals. Particularly within the Project-Program-Portfolio (PPP) community, risk management has been asked to be taken-up on a proactive and priority basis.

The risk management life cycle (RMLC) works within the context of risk management framework. It ensures risks are managed in a structured and integrated manner in an organization irrespective of life cycle approaches chosen.

Understanding of risk management framework across portfolios, programs and projects, is foundational to have tangible results coming from risk management.

While a project’s risk management life cycle is somewhat known and practiced, there are a number of variations when programs and/or portfolios are taken up in an organization. Many risk management practitioners miss these subtleties!

In this webinar, Satya Narayan Dash will explore:

  • What are risk management framework and risk management life cycle?
  • What will be considerations for the portfolios?
  • What will be considerations for the programs?
  • What will be considerations for the projects?
  • How to take an integrated approach?

What might the workplace of the future look like for frontline and remote workers?

As the pandemic grew throughout 2020, a number of organizations thrived in unprecedented ways–fueled by an unrelenting mindset to deliver on their value proposition for their team members.

Companies were forced to create a resilient, digitally-enabled workplace that provides frontline and remote workers with timely training, communication, and clarity about what is expected of them.

Employees increasingly depended on coordinating their work schedules with the demands of their family lives, which made it more critical than ever to voice their concerns to company leadership.

Two Points of View at Two with Rex Black & Rob Sabourin

Join Rex Black and Rob Sabourin (LinkedIn profile) for a lively back-and-forth on the topic followed by a Q&A opportunity. Rob observes that, today, many software testers are challenged to quickly identify product quality concerns amidst turbulent project contexts.

Business, technology, and organizational factors change frequently. Testers are forced to continuously adapt, to think on their feet, and to provide stakeholders, team members and even system users, with meaningful feedback about quality concerns, and operational readiness.

There are many different test automation technologies which can facilitate the control and observation of software. Rob notes that, among his customers, test automation technologies are mainly limited to implementing automated verification checks, as part of regression suites, in continuous integration and deployment processes.

This webinar will address the problem of how test automation tools, methods, and techniques can be effectively used to facilitate, and improve the efficiency of, exploratory testing.

Presenter: Rex Black (Amazon profile) is President of RBCS, a leader in software, hardware, and systems testing. RBCS employs the industry’s most experienced and recognized consultants, RBCS conducts product testing, builds and improves testing groups and hires testing staff for hundreds of clients worldwide.
