The Project Management Professional (PMP)® is the most important industry-recognized certification for project managers. You can find PMPs leading projects in nearly every country and, unlike other certifications that focus on a particular geography or domain, the PMP® is truly global. As a PMP, you can work in virtually any industry, with any methodology and in any location.http://www.examcollectionvce.com/vce-PMP.html
APM members were guests of Lockheed Martin for this interactive presentation which outlined Lockheed Martin’s experience in implementing Enterprise Agile across the corporation. This presentation focuses on management practices and lessons learned.
Matt Williams' presentation will explore methods and techniques for linking the business case, project output delivery and realising business benefits and value from project investments.
A project business case would (should) ordinarily include a comprehensive, analytically derived cost/benefit analysis. The basis for approval of a business case is that the capital investment required to deliver the project will be outweighed by the financial and/or non-financial benefits that will be delivered.
There are three major factors that contribute to the expected business value from project investments not being achieved:
1. Value exaggeration - an overly optimistic cost/benefit analysis,
2. Value destruction - delays in project and programme delivery, and
3. Value decay - not transferring the value to the business.
This workshop will explore methods and techniques for linking the business case with project output delivery to realise business benefits and value from project investments.

The Agile PMO - practical value driven change leadership in projects and portfolios
Conclusive research findings show that approximately %50 of PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet; we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations – wasting money, resources and most important – wasting time. In this presentation we focus on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general..
We analyze the essential model for PMO value enablement which answers:
• What is the strategic role of the value driven PMO in business;
• How to ensure effective streamlined delivery;
• How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities;
• How to manage resource allocation.
Key take away – a PMO must deliver value to the organization constantly. Value isn’t templates, tools and processes rather it is the ability to finish the right projects faster!
In this talk Margaret Armstrong, PMO Manager at the Trust explains how it has established a central Project Management Office in IT with strong, pragmatic processes to oversee the wide range of projects underway, underpinned by Bestoutcome’s PM3 tool, and describes the benefits this has brought, including significant improvements in Board reporting.
The NHS is undergoing significant change in the way it manages the delivery of services. At Warrington, the Trust Board launched a transformational change programme to review and improve all aspects of the way it works, including the delivery of IT services.

Agile and Scrum 101 – basics of Agile and Scrum
Scrum in 100 words:
• Scrum is an agile process that allows us to focus on delivering the highest business value in the shortest time.
• It allows us to rapidly and repeatedly inspect actual working software (every two weeks to one month).
• The business sets the priorities. Teams self-organize to determine the best way to deliver the highest priority features.
• Every two weeks to a month anyone can see real working software and decide to release it as is or continue to enhance it for another sprint.
In the presentation we discuss the basics of Agile and Scrum, the roles, ceremonies and artifacts. We add from our, from the trenches, lessons learned and better practices.

Glad many people liked the Program management Fundamentals presentation. With many requests i thought it's time to go one step further to define scope of the program.
I will publish financial & workforce planning, going forward.
This presentation should be read only after reading completely the Program Management fundamentals presentation.
A Project Management Office, abbreviated to PMO, is a group or department within a business, agency or enterprise that defines and maintains standards for project management within the organization. The PMO strives to standardize and introduce economies of repetition in the execution of projects.
We help our clients solve big, complex industry issues and capitalize on opportunities to help deliver outcomes that grow, optimize and protect our clients’ businesses.
Our project portfolio management approach takes a holistic view of your company’s overall strategy, helps gain control of investments and helps to deliver meaningful value to the business. It focuses on the entire life cycle of the project
portfolio from planning to monitoring and on to delivery. This includes three major processes — portfolio strategy, planning
and portfolio operations: all three processes centre around both value alignment and identification within the business, as well
as value realization within your IT and operations functions.
Our holistic approach will enhance your organization’s chance of success in its transformation efforts because it will help
the organization to focus on the risks that matter. In addition, this approach will help enable a common risk language within
programs and projects, thereby strengthening your company’s risk culture.
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.
