Although the project failure rate has seen improvement over the last decade or so, roughly half continue to fail.  As such, project risk management [which is designed to address risks that contribute to project failure] has gained significant interest over the same period.

While perhaps one of the more challenging knowledge areas of the PMBOK®, project risk management is a key competency for professional project managers.

This webinar will build on the learning concepts covered in the 03/14/19 webinar entitled ‘Predictive, Iterative and Adaptive Life Cycle Approaches: Managing Projects in the Knowledge Environment’ and will  contrast project risk management across today’s two primary project life cycle approaches – Predictive (Traditional) and Adaptive (Agile) Project Life Cycles.

Presenter: Barry M. Milteer, MBA, PMP, MCTS (LinkedIn profile) is well-versed in many areas of Business and IT.  Having over 10 years’ experience in Project, Program and Portfolio integration, scope, schedule, cost and risk management. Barry also has significant additional multi- platform Enterprise Project Management (EPM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) experience including Business Case Development, Requirements Management, Solution Selection, Proof of Concept (POC), Installation/Setup, Configuration, Deployment and Training.

Requirements are a key driver for any project and there is a direct relationship between the accuracy of requirements and the outcome of a project.

In many cases there is a direct link between scope and requirements, hence requirement definition impacts project scope.  Every project benefits by having a well-defined project scope that helps define boundaries for the project, the primary outcome/goal/deliverable to be achieved and success metrics (what does “done” look like”)

In this session  David Angelow (LinkedIn profile) will discuss how Design Sprint methods can be used to help project managers and teams at-large ensure alignment between current problem/challenge, scope of work and requirements for the project overall.

Learning Outcomes

• Understand the design sprint process and major outcomes resulting from completing a successful sprint.
• Understand risks associated with requirements definition and risk mitigation actions
• Understand how to identify stakeholders to engage in design sprint process
• Understand how design sprints can be used to generate and validate project requirements
• Understand how to manage team dynamics during the design sprint process

Many agile projects take a simplistic approach to “managing” user stories.

In fact, everything we learned in the requirement management discipline has somehow disappeared when user stories are used to describe desired functionality.

If we hope for the agile approach to scale up to help build complex systems and systems of system, then we need to go beyond the simplistic approach.

Very much like requirements in a non-agile project, user stories do not live in a vacuum. If you consider a more disciplined and more flexible agile project, then user stories change over time, they relate to other user stories, they related to test cases, scenarios, acceptance criteria and other project entities.

User stores are reviewed, finalized and approved. Tasks to implement user stories are assigned to team members and both estimated time and actual time to perform these tasks are tracked. Most importantly, progress in performing these tasks is tracked.

In this presentation, Dr Hanna will show how we can preserve much of the discipline we followed in the field of requirement management before agile and user stories ever existed.

The presentation will conclude with a short demo of the award winning Rommana ALM to show how we expect a tool to support a more disciplined approach to managing user stories.
