Creating a Project Management Centre of Excellence is the driving force that takes an organization forward to realize their project management mandate. It encompasses the process of creating a strategy for project management, re-shaping the culture to be more focused on the consistency in the management of projects and implementing a project management process.
Creating a Project Management Centre of Excellence
project_management_COEA Centre of Excellence is a business unit that has organization-wide authority. The key elements of a successful Project Management Centre of Excellence include:
Vision and Strategies
A clear vision of what it represents and the strategies to identify how it will reach this vision in the short and long term.
Competencies
The selection of resources based on project competency requirements compared to actual project resource competencies. The identification of coaching, training and other developmental activities to close any competency gap.
Culture
How to re-shape the organizational culture to be more supportive of the consistency in the management of projects.
Processes
The right processes, tools and templates that are helpful and meaningful to project managers and their teams.
Quality
The quality criteria for the project management framework, processes and documents.
1. Create the Vision and Strategies
One approach to creating a vision for the Centre of Excellence is to brainstorm ideas that focus on what the future will look like. Start by creating scenarios that describe what the Centre will be doing 5 years into the future. What are some of the things that they will be doing that reflect a successful Centre of Excellence? What will employees and customers be saying about them? How did they get there?
The outcome of this process is the creation of a vision statement for the Project Management Centre of Excellence. Determine how this vision aligns and supports the organization’s strategic direction.
The alignment of the Centre of Excellence to the goals of the organization is key to driving strategy implementation. Strategies translate this vision into reality. They close the gap between the present and the “ideal” future described in the vision scenarios. These strategies must be described clearly so that the organization understands and accepts them.

A project manager is a highly skilled knowledge worker who has received rigorous training and knowledge in the process of achieving a globally recognized certification. In the lean and agile world, the project manager does not have an official role. The project manager’s role is distributed between the agile team members. The knowledge and skills obtained through certification is transferable in the lean and agile organization.
In a competitive business climate, all available brainpower must be present on deck to enable the organization to achieve enterprise agility and scale to meet customer, compliance, financial markets, internal opportunities, and competitive demands.
This paper evaluates the project manager (PM) role using the Scaled Agile Framework practice, and centers on PM participation in the lean and agile transformation as a strategic, leading, and/or lagging PM.

Students will find several direct links to the PMBoK in this text. First, the key terms and their definitions are intended to follow the PMBoK glossary (included as an appendix at the end of the text). Second, chapter introductions will also highlight references to the PMBoK as we address them in turn. We can see how each chapter not only adds to our knowledge of project management but also directly links to elements within the PMBoK. Finally, many end-of-chapter exercises and Internet references will require direct interaction with PMI through its Web site.
As an additional link to the Project Management Institute and the PMBoK, this text will include sample practice questions at the end of relevant chapters to allow students to test their in-depth knowledge of aspects of the PMBoK. Nearly 20 years ago, PMI instituted its Project Management Professional (PMP) certification as a means of awarding those with an expert knowledge of project management practice. The PMP certification is the highest professional designation for project management expertise in the world and requires in-depth knowledge in all nine areas of the PMBoK. The inclusion of questions at the end of the relevant chapters offers students a way to assess how well they have learned the important course topics, the nature of PMP certification exam questions, and to point to areas that may require additional study in order to master this material.

Created by Jeff Hiatt, the President of Prosci (a Change Management research group), the ADKAR model is a powerful tool for Change Management professionals and leaders who need to motivate change in others. The tool helps in identifying why change is difficult and why some changes succeed while others are unsuccessful. The ADKAR model was developed based on the outcomes necessary to sustain successful change.
The acronym ADKAR is based on five building blocks (or elements) that lead to successful change:
1. Awareness
2. Desire
3. Knowledge
4. Ability
5. Reinforcement
These five building blocks of the ADKAR model are sequential. Change exists at two dimensions: people and business. The ADKAR change model necessitates both dimensions evolving concurrently. Change often commences at the personal level, but with the support of employees an organization may be able to create fruitful results faster and more easily.
The presentation deck also includes ADKAR Assessment forms and some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
These slides highlights the importance of positive leadership in project management. It covers the definition of leadership, impact of leadership on the organization, leaders vs. managers and the role of leadership during the project life cycle.
In recent years, Agile and Project Management Office (PMO) tend to be associated towards an evolutionary and more flexible project management approach.
Mainly, this refers to the ways the strategic role of PMO is positioned at the corporate level regarding goals achievement.
However, the transition from non-Agile PMO to an Agile one can be costly, risky, time consuming, which requires a lot of effort. In effect, in such transition, the role of the project management office is catalytic.
The purpose of this presentation is to highlight both trends regarding an Agile PMO as well as the challenges required so as the transition to work with the least problems anticipated.
Agile is not only about doing agile work, but also being and act agile.
Value Delivery Office is a project delivery support structure that focuses on coaching teams; building agile skills and capabilities throughout the organization; and mentoring sponsors and product owners to be more effective in those roles.
The frameworks of Agile and lean, specifically ScrumXP and Kanban with the emphasis on planning, collaboration, teamwork, and frequent releases, provide a vehicle for application in life activities beyond the business world. Limited research has explored the areas in which ScrumXP and Kanban can contribute the same level of success experienced in business activities to life projects. An example of a life project is building a tree house for our children. The emphasis of this paper is to illuminate the experiences of 13 agility practitioners in Southern California and the application of ScrumXP and Kanban in life projects. Data for the research was gathered through interviews with 13 agile practitioners. Permission was requested and granted from the participants. Purposeful sampling enabled the intentional selection of individuals that would provide the most information under investigation. The participants identified several life projects that were applicable for ScrumXP and Kanban. Positive experiences and results from the participants were captured and analyzed. The seven emergent themes were (a) applied to schools and academic environments, (b) planned family vacations and holidays, (c) organized kids’ school work and activities, (d) improved family relationships, (e) improved home projects and chores, (f) transformed my life, leadership, and career skills, and (h) learned to do things at a sustainable pace.
Keywords—Scrum, XP, lean, Kanban, agile, agility, transparency, inspect, adapt, commitment, innovation, empiricism
What is the value proposition for agile? Does agile deliver on those benefits? What do the practitioners using it say?
In 2010, I began asking Scrum experts and practitioners about their perceived value of Scrum. A common response was, "it depends on what you mean by value." When presented with examples like return on investment or internal rate of return, they often stated that they don’t use those waterfall measures. However, when asked about value being nimble, they told me I was getting warmer...
During my doctoral research in 2013-2014, I interviewed 32 Scrum and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) practitioners from 17 industries in Southern and Northern California and Nevada to learn about the value of Scrum to their organizations based on their experiences. The practitioners included: four business leaders, three Scrum coaches, two product owners, eight Scrum masters, three Scrum team members, and 12 other professionals. The discussion continued with attendees at AgileOpen to capture additional insights.

Oh wow! We are a lean and agile organization. Where do I fit as a traditional PM?
