Scrum Master and Project Manager are two roles that, for the past 15 years, coexisted well, especially in IT projects.

From the very technical role that was part of the software development team, the Scrum Master evolved into a new organizational role, sometimes with a well defined job description and with responsibilities that transcended the technical background from which it originated.

Although the role was defined in the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role is now present in other frameworks and there are many training courses and certifications available from other organizations with different views on the skills required and the responsibilities of the Scrum Master.

It is additional evidence that the role is evolving beyond what the Scrum Guide authors intended.

The Project Manager role also changed since the Agile Manifesto publication and the adoption of Agile delivery frameworks. Mainly due to a dynamic business environment, more geographically distributed workforce, and last but not least because of the digital revolution: cloud, social media and mobile technology’s impact on how projects are managed and delivered.

Skills developed as a Scrum Master, like team and people management, are a good foundation for career development.

Like in any other profession Scrum Masters will reach a point where they feel the need to go beyond a Scrum Team of 5-9. Project Management is one option for career change but is it the right one?

This presentation with  Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile); is based on his experience as a Development Team Lead, Development Manager, Scrum Master and Project Manager working with Scrum teams.

It contains also advice for Project Managers and Scrum Masters that want to play a dual role.

Digital twins have been hyped as the next big thing in process excellence, especially in the manufacturing space, for years.

Now, thanks to advancements in AI, data processing and IoT, the dream of digital twins is now becoming reality.

The ways in which commercial, academic and governmental organizations are using digital twins are truly remarkable. City planners, for example, are using digital twins to analyze and solve urban problems such as traffic, pollution and overcrowding.

In life sciences, researchers are using digital twins to study diseases and develop cutting-edge treatments.

Digital twins are becoming so popular that the industry is expected to reach US$125.7bn by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 39 percent from 2021.

Digital twins, however, require massive amounts of high quality data and extensive computing resources.

In addition, they also pose numerous cybersecurity and ethical challenges. Should the data used to create digital twins be compromised in some way, whether maliciously or not, it could have catastrophic results.

Elizabeth Mixson (LinkedIn profile) Editor PEX Network & Amit Badlani (LinkedIn profile) Head of Product, AI / ML NVIDIA will look at the promise and the perils of digital twins.

Key discussion points will include:

• Why is digital twin technology such a game changer and how are organizations using it to reinvent themselves for the digital age?
• How do you avoid building an evil twin by ensuring data is ethically used and protected?
• Are digital twins worth the investment?

This webinar describes the meaning of the Stakeholders-related principle of the PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition: Stakeholders are people or institutions involved in the project, or which will adopt the output of the project.

Stakeholders either influence, or are influenced by, the project processes, the project performance, the project outcomes, and deliverables.

How stakeholders engage with the project will be a key factor in determining the project’s likelihood of success and delivering value.

The completion of this webinar will enable you to have a clear understanding of the content of this principle.

Participants will be able to understand:

• How stakeholders impact the project
• The relevance of evaluating the degree of a stakeholder’s interest, influence, or impact, and how this changes in time
• The role of understanding the relative relevance of different stakeholders, and its impact on the project scope
• The key role of the project manager in developing and deploying stakeholder engagement strategies
