In the cosmic scheme of business and management, project management is a relatively new discipline. Much of what we know as modern project management was formulated in the 1950s and codified in the following couple of decades.

While a great deal has changed in organizations, project management as it is defined has been relatively stable.

There has been some evolution, but not a great deal of revolution. That raises a fairly significant question:

• Where will project management go from here?
• What will it look like? Is there a bleeding edge to modern practice,
• What does it actually look like?

In this presentation Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management casts an eye to the future of project management.

Mark explores life at the outer edges of practice, and examines where innovations are most likely to occur, and what form those innovations are likely to take.

We all know how difficult it is to successfully deliver a programme. Unfortunately, it is true to say that more often than not, programmes will fall short in some capacity, be it an overrun of time or budget, or a failure to achieve the desired outcomes.

Programme management is not a new phenomenon, so:

1. Why is this still the case after decades of initiating, developing, implementing, reviewing and understanding programmes?
2. What is the essence of successful programmes?

Join Chris Ctori & Temi Afolabi  for a thought-provoking evening, as they  will explore this question in detail, and focus on what really is important to consider for delivering a successful programme.  They will also present a personal experience of working on a complex major programme.

Key Message: Requirements Engineering (RE) skills are massively underestimated in many projects

• Today, software development must cope with multiple challenges:Increased complexity of system and environment
• New competitors that arrive in the digital market space
• Limited time-to-market for new products
• Stretched IT/ project budgets

Consequently, companies may switch to adaptive/agile approaches to address these challenges.

In the transformation phase from plan-driven to adaptive/agile approaches, they are often tempted to save time and effort when it comes to requirements elicitation, analysis and documentation.This often results in software that does not meet user expectations at all.

The reasons are unclear requirements at all stages of development:

• Designers and developers who do not know the actual needs and requirements
• Testers who cannot validate the solution due to missing requirements
• Product owners who have lost the overview of existing software capabilities

Even in an adaptive/agile world, requirements still need to be elicited, understood, documented, consolidated and managed – though perhaps to a lesser extent than in classical, plan-driven approaches.

When attending the webinar, you will:

• Understand the fundamental principles of RE.
• Learn how RE makes the difference in your projects.
• Learn how to find the best fitting RE approach for your project setup.

Presenters:  Stan Bühne (LinkedIn profile) is the Vice Managing Director of IREB GmbH. Stan has 15 + years of experience in requirements engineering, business analysis and project management.

In this fascinating presentation, Professor Paul Boudreau explains why AI technology must be incorporated into project management to improve project success rates. It is not optional!

His argument is supported by two practical examples (use cases) of AI concepts being developed.

The presentation shows the application of machine learning and natural language processing to the project methodology, and how they will disrupt the way we think about managing projects.

Each concept is explained with a practical application of the possibilities, even though Paul has been frequently warned about the potential embarrassment from using new technology in a live demonstration. Don’t miss it!

Presenter: Paul Boudreau (LinkedIn profile) Professor Author, is known for presenting a compelling argument that project success rates can only by improved by using AI to change the project methodology. With 35+ years experience in the technology industry he is currently Paul teaches project management in the School of Business for Algonquin College, in Ottawa, Canada. He develops practical AI concepts for use in projects. As an author Paul published Applying Artificial Intelligence to Project Management, & How the Project Management Office Can Use Artificial Intelligence to Improve the Bottom Line.
