The introduction of a project management framework will provide a structured and managed approach for projects within your company.
With the right framework in place it will allow projects of all sizes and priority to be planned effectively. This ensures that at all times the cost of the project is managed while delivering quality and the right level of performance and control across project management.

Let’s face it; working in today’s world of work can mean days in chaotic, fast-paced, time- and resource-strained organizations. This course is designed for busy leaders who need checklists and tools to drive the success of their market with minimal investment of time and budget.
This is an effective process where using the answers to 'what went wrong and why', the reasons for failure are groupded thematically, and prioritised.Once the reasons are prioritised, Identify mitigating actions. Based on the mitigation plam assign responsibilities and set timelines.
Using this approach helps in finding the risks early and put the mitigation plan to action from the start instead of doing failure based RCA as we encounter failures. What makes this technique even more attractive is the fact that it can be used mutliple times across the project phases to reprioritise the plan and change the course of action as deemed nexessary.
What is the project management? what is the essential activity in a project management? Most of the books written about project management won't give us clear idea about those questions. But here you can get the most practical knowledge about software development project management. From this slide, you can see what are the project management and what is the key of project management to make the project successful.

Project Management Critical Success Factors. Why Do Projects Fails. Why deliveries are not on time. What are the factors which makes success. What are factors responsible for failures.
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.

On Tuesday 26th November 2013 in the heart of Birmingham ProgM SIG staged “Delivering more 4 less: using programme management to achieve transformational change in times of austerity." The SIG had promised an event that weaved together the four ‘C’s’ theme namely collaboration, change, community and competence, drawing on a wealth of experience from across the public sector. http://bit.ly/progmm4l
Merv Wyeth, ProgM Chair introduced the conference by describing how the event had been designed with the intention of providing delegates with a high return on their personal investment – i.e attendance and participation #eventroi. The big idea was that the day should be an enjoyable shared experience that offered an exceptional opportunity for learning, motivation and networking in the field of programme management.
Time and space was built into the programme to enable the audience to interrogate (police were present), and otherwise question, speakers. They were also given the opportunity to vote in polls on issues and questions that speakers posed, which offered additional insights into audience perception and sentiment which otherwise would not have been available.
The conference offered the chance for Jim Dale to provide a ‘sitrep’ on his ProgM-backed
Collaborative Change research namely “Using research to improve the delivery and effectiveness of change programmes and projects” previewed in last month’s show-case webinar. During his presentation Jim provided an update of the story so far, thanked those who had already participated either in an interview or by completing the survey. ProgM would like to extend the opportunity to all those currently, or previously, involved in programme management and related collaborative activity to participate in this important Collaborative Change survey.
On the day, Steve Wake, newly appointed Chair of APM Board, was available to round-up the proceedings and provide a special vote of thanks to his Board colleagues, the organising committee and our generous sponsors, BMT Hi-Q Sigma. He reminded those present of the ongoing Strategy 2020 initiative of “Listening, learning and leading” that complements events of this type.
One delegate (Neil White) wrote “A constant theme, running like a golden thread throughout the day, was that effective programme management is a necessary and complimentary bedfellow of collaboration, and an important ingredient in delivering successful transformational change.
Whereas projects are essentially objective and enable the effective development and delivery of ‘products’ (some of which are can be very big products!) it was recognised that programmes are much more subjective and must be sensitive to the environment in which they are operate.
Rather than see them as obstacles, programme managers must respect and be prepared to exploit the systems and organisations surrounding them to their mutual benefit.
How do you kill collaboration in organisations

Collaboration, co-operation and competition - project environments through a knowledge lens
Knowledge SIG conference
A presentation made by Paul Johnson (South Wales and West of England - SWWE - branch committee member) and Mike Donnington of Babcock International Group to the newcomers of the APM SWWE branch, at The University of South Wales, Newport campus on 10th October
Richard Bacon MP for South Norfolk and successful author of ‘Conundrum: Why every government gets things wrong and what we can do about it’ was the guest speaker at highly entertaining and informative ProgM event held in Central London.
Securing Richard’s attendance was a coup for ProgM. Merv Wyeth (ProgM Chair) confessed that the evening represented the culmination of months of stalking and some mild harassment to ensure the committee ‘got their man’.
Steve Wake, Chair of APM Board, introduced the evening with a personal story about the seminal Committee of Public Accounts, Eighth Report “The Proper Conduct of Public Business,” that had started him out on the road of earned value. This set the context for Richard to explain what, if anything, had changed in twenty years!
Richard did not ‘pull his punches’ and his early assessment of the consequences of failed major projects was uncompromising:
“Don’t be surprised, he told the assembled, if what you end up with:
• is a mess that is way behind schedule,
• damages your organization,
• traumatizes your staff,
• costs much more than it is supposed to,
• and doesn’t work!
As a member of the highly influential House of Commons Public Accounts Committee Richard has been exposed to the full range of major project horror stories.
While Richard’s focus was on the really big projects that cost the most and carry the greatest risk, his advice is equally applicable to those smaller scale projects, that many of us have personal experience of, and, irritatingly, somehow have an uncanny habit of achieving a sub optimal outcome.
Richard’s assessment of the causes of failure reveals the same olde problems with which we are all familiar:
• very high staff turnover
• lack of information
• lack of knowledge about costs and sloppy financial management
• lack of key skills
• poor project management
• lack of procurement capability
• risk aversion and risk ignorance.
So why do we get it wrong, seemingly again and again?
Richard’s answer lies in human nature - “it’s behavior stupid’’ … Get this right and then we are on the way to successful delivery. Yet, and here is the ‘conundrum’, while senior managers handle and live comfortably with ambiguity successful project managers are programmed to nail down scope at the earliest possible stage.
A presentation from Dr Lesley Trenner made to the APM Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire branch membership on 29th October, at Yorkshire Water's Esholt Hall learning centre in Bradford
The Public Works Institute includes a small presentation on the basics of effective project management. Project Management is a cornerstone of the role of any public works professional, especially supervisors or managers.

That’s often what we tell family, friends and peers when asked what we do. But is it really a fair description? It may well be our role title, but it probably doesn’t convey a lot of what we actually do.
This presentation and discussion is about going beyond the frameworks, processes and stereotypes associated with project management and exploring the leadership roles we all in fact perform.

If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings?
In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions.
“We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact.
One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime.
The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!”
This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022.
You’ll come away with:
a clear understanding of how the human brain works.
a framework that:
explains ‘why people behave as they do’.
makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set)
new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder.
Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.

Content description:
Disruptive technology and accelerating change is the now the norm within business. Advancements that feel relatively recent are already becoming embedded into business-as-usual activity. AI is one such advancement; it is already being used and having real-world impacts across the project profession.
To help P3M professionals understand the implications of this change, APM invited representatives from organisations that have introduced or are preparing to introduce AI into their project workstreams, to explain their approach and share their insight with fellow professionals.
This webinar on explored how AI is currently being used in project and programme management, and how organisations are gearing up for its adoption.

Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology.
However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button.
Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt.
Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering:
What do I need to know about AI right now?
If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful?
Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare?
Sarah’s expertise in advanced agile and experience in highly regulated Finance environments give her a unique perspective into balancing governance with technical innovation. She uses her own experience building an AI solution in 2023 to share practical, widely applicable concepts in an “AI for project managers” 101 style session.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
3. The Project Brief
The project was to improve the Highcliffe Castle’s visitors
trail.
Objectives:
Information points should be interactive, linking to
information that can be easily updated over time
Different groups visiting the trail should be considered and
their needs met
Address content, design and functionality of information
points
To design information points within a £1000 budget
4. The Project Objectives
To design a visitor trail for Highcliffe
Castle to take visitors from the cliff top
car park to the Castle by 16th December
To present our design proposal to David
Hopkins, the Highcliffe Castle
management on the 7th of January 2014
in a professional presentation.
5. Personal Objectives
To learn how to use project management
tools such as Gantt charts, critical path
analysis and work breakdown structures.
To learn from any mistakes that we make and
understand where we went wrong.
To gain knowledge that we can use on future
projects.
To improve existing professional skills such as
communication and team working.
6. Success Criteria
Was David Hopkins happy with the design proposal
Was our design proposal within the £1000 budget
Did we meet our objectives within the time limit
Did we gain project management skills from the
experience
Did the project meet the assignment brief and the
project brief
Did we complete all deliverables to a high standard
8. Achievements
Met the project brief and produced an design
proposal David Hopkins was happy with.
We completed all tasks within the time frame.
Improved our knowledge of project management.
Delivered professional presentation to an external
client.
Working with a designer to get a professional digital
prototype created
14. Communication
Between team members – Facebook Group,
messaging, telephone
David Hopkins (Highcliffe Castle
management) – email
Karen Thompson (Bournemouth University)
e-mail, face to face
Other external stakeholders (for example
potential suppliers) – e-mail, telephone
15.
16. Stakeholder Management
We identified all the stakeholders to this
project and analysed them
We then created a stakeholder matrix for this
The 3 stakeholders we considered to be most
important were: David Hopkins (Highcliffe
Castle Management), Karen Thompson
(Bournemouth University) and us as a team.
17.
18. Project Budget
Cost measured as our time
Budgeted 3 hours a week per person
Total budgeted time 12 hours a week
Any extra hours put in considered over budget
Top-down approach to cost management – budget set by
management
Highcliffe manager gave us a budget of £1000 to design signs for
him including the material cost. This was met.
Did not spend any of the APM budget.
19. Risk Management
Evaluation of potential risks to success of
the project
Qualitative analysis of the risks (High,
medium, low)
How we planned to monitor and control
these risks
20. Evaluation of Risks
Loss/illness of a team member (low risk) - 4 team
members, loss of member not too significant
Poor time management due to inexperience (high
risk) – Use Gantt chart and project plan to keep to
schedule
Lack of commitment from team members, not making
project priority (medium risk) – planning ahead,
delegating responsibilities
Insufficient resources for design (medium risk) –
correspondence with David Hopkins, Karen Thompson
and Gino Abate and thorough research of suppliers
21. Quality Management
Team review – all team members review and
check activities and deliverables
Project managers role – quality controls
project and gives team members feedback
Consulting with David Hopkins, visiting
Highcliffe Castle, ensuring we are meeting
stakeholders needs
Referring to assignment brief, ensure we are
meeting requirements
22. Progress Reporting
Completed progress reports during project
to ensure we were sticking to schedule
Highlighted any issues that needed
resolving
Determine and plan what activities and
deliverables still need to be completed
25. Overall Success of the Project
Overall success – met all of our objectives
David Hopkins was pleased with design
proposal and gave positive feedback
Quality of work was to a high standard
Success of project management is different
from success of outcome of project – we
could have managed the project better but
we have learnt from this
26. What Was Unsuccessful
Over budget in weeks preceding deadline as we
had to put in additional hours to complete on
time
Tasks could have been delegated better so that
work was completed more efficiently
Time management – began project proposal late,
didn’t stick to Gantt chart schedule
Communication – conflicts could have been
resolved better, messages were not always
received in time
27. Evaluation of Project Planning
We created detailed work and product
breakdown structures helped us to accurately
plan what needed to be done.
This information then helped us create a
Gantt chart which we tried to use to manage
our time.
The Gantt chart could have been more
detailed providing information on who was
responsible for tasks.
28. Evaluation of Deliverables
Design proposal and presentation -
completed to a professional standard
All team members contributed to the
design and deliverables - commitment of
members and good management
Client was happy with the deliverables –
which we consider main factor for success
of the project
29. What Would We Do Differently
Assign clear roles and responsibilities and
stick to them – delegate tasks appropriately
Keep minutes from meetings – ensuring
nothing is missed
Follow the Gantt chart to schedule (create a
more detailed Gantt chart)
Create a communications plan - find a better
channel of communication so messages are
not missed
30. What We Learnt
Learnt how to plan a project effectively –
drawing up work breakdown structures
and Gantt charts
Underlying issues should be confronted to
avoid conflict
Discovered team has an ability to work
well under pressure
