Enterprise Project Management Essential #1Nah Wee Yang
The first "Enterprise Project Management Essential" seminar held at Microsoft Singapore Auditorium, on 31-July-2007. Organized by the EPM Specialist: Systemethod, and sponsored by Microsoft Singapore.
This Workshop summarizes the reasons that modern project management (PM) is important to all enterprises today, in the highly competitive environment of this digital, Internet Age.
The requirements to achieve these important benefits are discussed, and the concept that PM is a core competency required of all executives is presented
Programs and projects are of great importance to all banking, insurance, industry, governmental and other organizations.
They are the means by which companies, especially when delivering complex, advanced products or systems to their customers, earn a major share of their profit.
In all these various organizations there are a growing recognition that although many projects apparently exist within the organization they are often poorly understood and frequently not properly managed.
More organizations are now recognizing these facts, and more are approaching the management of these growth steps using proven project management principles and practices.
Essentially all enterprises realize their long range growth strategies through the creation, planning, and execution of unique efforts that we call projects.
In order for any enterprise to properly, effectively, and prudently manage their future growth, modern project management principles and practices must be applied.
Thus the application of these practices, methods, systems and tools is of great importance to every enterprise today.
The project management discipline is not anymore a separate management profession but rather it is a core competency that all executives must have in this Internet Age. It should be a way of life for all professionals.
The art and science of project management will continue to evolve, in particular with more complete project life cycle management, with closer linkage to the organization’s strategic management, with more specialization in life cycle models and individual certification.
EPM is a disciplined approach to project management and resource management that looks at all the project (and sometimes non-project) work in an organization as a collective whole.
A comprehensive PPM tool investment is likely to provide an ROI of more than 250%"

Agile and Traditional Project Management Homogeneous or Hybrid Mike Otranto
Gartner reports that 75% to 80% of organizations are using some form of agile project management process. Although agile project management has been around for many years, the way we adapt it has changed significantly, especially as project portfolio management (PPM) practices have evolved.
In today's businesses, technology plays a crucial role in our success, but technology also makes things more uncertain. This uncertainty has given us the motive to be more flexible and requires a “think on your feet” mentality. For this reason, we have seen a big spike in Agile PPM over the last few years. So how do we continue to deliver stability and efficiency, the result of traditional style PPM, while also giving in to necessary risks that lead to innovation and competitive edge? It’s simple…. we accept the value in each method, avoid the inevitable pains that will develop with segregation, and opt for a unified agile and traditional PPM model.
Join us in this webinar presentation as we discuss the benefits of bringing Agile and Traditional Project Portfolio Management together in one environment. Topics include:
- The Project Management Evolution
- Agile Project Managment Overview
- The Benefits of Hybrid/Unified PPM
- Hybrid Project Management Tools to Support Today’s PPM

Best Practices for Enterprise Performance ManagementPerficient, Inc.
A special webinar for Finance professionals
Looking forward to budget season? For many managers, the budget process is a painful, manual process driven by disconnected Excel spreadsheets that are error-prone, static, and generally non-collaborative. The result is a budget that becomes irrelevant as soon as the new fiscal year begins.
A more nimble response is needed. Budgeting and planning should be a continuous, flexible exercise based on rolling forecasts, and supported by systems that can adapt as the business climate changes.
Join us as we discuss how applying best practices and using an automated Enterprise Performance Management system can help intelligent enterprises reap the benefits of flexible budgeting, accurate forecasting and dynamic planning. By implementing best practices for budgeting and planning, you can:
- Make the budget process less painful
- Replace spreadsheets with web forms
- Automate the budget roll-up process
- Create budgets based on key business drivers
- Link strategic goals to operational decisions
- Integrate financial “actuals” with budget and forecast data
- Provide easy, real-time variance reporting
- Access a single version of the truth for financial information
Presenter Emil Fernandez is General Manager of Perficient's national Enterprise Performance Management practice.

Microsoft Project in Manufacturing and Resources - Presented by AtidanDavid J Rosenthal
In these demanding economic times, many executives are facing sharper scrutiny of their discretionary spending. This increases the importance of effectively identifying, selecting, and delivering product portfolios that best align with an organization’s business strategy. Best-practice portfolio selection techniques provide a handshake between value optimization — that is, alignment with business priorities and maximizing ROI — and resource utilization, meaning the understanding of resource capabilities and availability. Together, these techniques help PMOs recommend not only which product to undertake, but to forecast their delivery.
Vision
Organizations can make business strategies more objective by adopting structured techniques for defining, prioritizing, and communicating business imperatives, and consistently evaluating each competing initiative that contributes to strategic priorities. Adopting a structured portfolio selection process helps organizations accomplish the following:
Define and communicate the business strategy: Many organizations publish mission statements and high-level strategic objectives. Few of them, however, break down their strategy into actionable, measurable, and unique business drivers. Defining and effectively communicating the business strategy provides a blueprint that organizational departments can understood and implement.
Drive executive consensus around business driver priorities: Objectively prioritizing the business strategy and driving executive consensus can help your organization more effectively assess competing initiatives and select the optimal portfolio.
Objectively prioritize competing products from multiple dimensions: Prioritizing products by using a variety of value measurements (e.g., strategic value, financial value, and risk) provides a framework for assessing requests from multiple dimensions and for creating a common currency with which to make comparisons.
Identify the optimal portfolio under varying budget and portfolio constraints: Facing budget cuts or requests that exceed the allocated budget creates a daunting task for PMOs. Additional variables, such as inter-product dependencies and regulatory requirements, can further compound the problem, creating a challenge in effectively modeling scenarios that will help identify the right products for an organization to undertake. Accurately capturing realistic cost and benefit estimates for products early in their lifecycle helps executives effectively select portfolios that maximize ROI under varying budget constraints and measure financial performance during product execution.
Effectively communicate tradeoffs: Budget, available resources, dependencies, pet products, and compliance requirements can potentially affect the overall value of selected product portfolios. Being able to identify and alter constraints helps PMOs communicate tradeoffs to the executive team and enhance the potential value gained from the resulting

Do you know how to earn PDUs?
• “I have seen the PDU categories looks complicated”
Do you know what are the PDU qualified activities?
• “Now that I have earned my PDUs”
Do you know how to report to PMI?
This is the Project Management For Youth (PM4Y) program we collaborate with secondary schools, junior colleges, polytechnics and universities in Singapore. The main objective of this program is to introduce the key principles of project management to the youth, and equip these important life skills to them to be successful in studies and future career.
This is the deck I used for my volunteer work to teach secondary school students in Singapore. The slides are not very elaborative and not much info, due to the nature of this workshop to the youth is mainly activity based.
This workshop is only part of the whole program that not only teaches key principles in project management to children and youth, but we also give the students an opportunity to apply the knowledge in real-life projects. And on-going, together with the teachers, our volunteer will be the mentor to the students in providing guidance and coaching in project manager's ethical conducts, or setting up Special Interest Group in PM in the school.

As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Editor's Notes
The diagram shows the following:Best practice governance phases (Create, Select, Plan, and Manage): A project will pass through these best practice phases throughout its life cycle.PPM Life Cycle Steps: These more granular steps provide more detailed overview of the primary activities and events that a project will complete during its life cycle. For example:In the Create governance phase, a project request is captured and users begin to develop a detailed business case to support the idea.In the Select governance phase, all competing projects within the portfolio are prioritized and optimized against budgetary constraints. This results in selecting a project portfolio that best aligns with the organization’s strategic priorities.In the Plan governance phase, the project managers begin to develop the detailed project plans for each of the selected projects before the project is approved and given a baseline.In the Manage governance phase, the project is tracked to a successful conclusion.Create the project request in Project Portfolio Server 2007 and build a detailed business case (e.g. cost, resource, benefit, strategic impact, risk, schedule etc.)Prioritize, optimize and select the project portfolio that maximize ROI and aligns with the organization’s strategic prioritiesUtilize the Project Server Gateway to export the selected projects from Project Portfolio Server 2007 to Project Server 2007Run capacity planning reports, finalize release schedule and develop detailed project plans in Project Server 2007Track and manage the project to a successful conclusion in Project Server 2007. On a recurring basis synchronize project data with MOPPS 2007
Having selected the optimal project portfolio the Portfolio Analyst can us the Project Server Gateway to export the projects from Portfolio Server 2007 and create projects on Project Server 2007.The Project Server Gateway is a bi-directional link between Office Project Portfolio Server 2007 and Office Project Server 2007. The Gateway ensures data integrity between the two servers throughout a project’s lifecycle.
Now that the projects have been successfully exported from Project Portfolio Server 2007 to Project Server 2007 the portfolio Analysts can use Project Server’s Resource Center and flexible Reporting Infrastructure to run Capacity Planning analysis. The analysis will help the analyst to: Identify skill surpluses and deficits across a planning horizon Finalize the project portfolio release schedule Analyze and communicate training and headcount requirements to HR(Note: This analysis is carried out at the generic skill / resource level. Not at the named resource level)
Now the Project Manager can begin to build the detailed project plan. This includes: Adding tasks and milestones Capturing inter-project dependencies Assigning named resources (i.e. replacing generic skill placeholders) Baselinning the project planIt is also important to synchronize the project data with Project Portfolio Server to ensure data integrity.
Project Web Access provides access to timely, business-critical project information stored by Office Project Server 2007, so teams can share knowledge, collaborate smoothly to complete tasks and deliverables, and adjust activities quickly to accommodate project changes and updates
With Project Server’s Project Center and Report Center you can measure and track projects, programs, and portfolios throughout their life cycle, giving you the visibility to proactively identify potential issues, make decisions, and help ensure that your portfolios deliver maximum business value.It is important to run regular synchronization events between Project and Portfolio Server to ensure data integrity and to allow the portfolio analysts to run recurring prioritization and optimization events.
1. Standardize and automate the governance processes.Define multiple workflows to subject each project to the appropriate governance controls throughout its life cycle — from proposal to post-implementation — resulting in lowered costs, faster cycle times, and increased quality. 2. Capture all investments within a central repository.Consolidate business and information technology (IT) investments within an enterprise repository to improve visibility, insight, and control. The Office EPM Solution enables you to implement repeatable processes as templates to standardize and streamline data collection across the organization. Centralized data facilitates cross project analysis of finances, resources, schedules as well as other data trends and status for informative reports.3. Objectively prioritize business strategy and competing investments.Employ proven techniques to define and prioritize your organization’s business strategy for the upcoming planning period, and automatically derive objective prioritization scores to effectively evaluate the competing investments from multiple dimensions.4. Align the selected portfolios with the business strategy.Run optimization what-if scenarios to identify tradeoffs and select the optimal portfolio under varying budgetary and business constraints that best align with your organization’s business strategy. Take advantage of advanced portfolio analytical techniques to identify and break the constraints prohibiting the portfolio from reaching the Efficient Frontier. 5. Effectively manage resources.Without understanding long-term workloads and capacity, companies can experience inefficient hire-fire cycles, resulting in higher overhead, lost knowledge, and poor employee morale. By providing visibility into overall work commitments, actual timesheets, and resource capabilities, the Office EPM Solution helps you create resource plans to align your strategic recruiting and outsourcing with your long-term business objectives.6. Collaborate and coordinate easily.Helping to ensure that teams share common goals and work together effectively becomes more vital as organizations become more geographically and culturally diverse. Web-based access to timely, business-critical project information stored by the Office EPM Solution means teams can share knowledge, collaborate smoothly to complete tasks and deliverables, and adjust activities quickly to accommodate project changes and updates.7. Measure and track portfolio performance.Effectively measure and track projects, programs, and applications throughout their life cycle, giving you the visibility to proactively identify potential issues, make decisions, and help ensure that your portfolios maximize return on investment (ROI) and improve operational efficiencies.8. Get more from existing technology investments.The Office EPM Solution is built on Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services so you can get the most out of your organization’s skills in these Microsoft technologies. The Office EPM Solution also includes pre-built integration with the Microsoft Office system, ERP applications, and the Microsoft collaboration platform. This enables users to contribute data to the Office EPM Solution while working in familiar applications such as Outlook or SharePoint. 9. Tightly integrate with line of business applications.The well defined Project Server Interface API, the Eventing Model supporting the Windows Workflow Foundation, the SDK with reference samples, and other tools make the Office EPM Solution a flexible and extensible platform to manage your work. Utilize the Project Server Interface, a Web services based API, to seamlessly integrate the Office EPM Solution with General Ledger, HR, ERP, CRM and other line of business applications.10. Quickly realize a return on investment.The Office EPM Solution provides organizations with an end-to-end project portfolio management solution. By enabling increased employee productivity, faster cycle times, reduced costs, and improved time management, the Office EPM Solution provides a positive and sustainable return on your investment.
