The document discusses assurance in program and project management. It first notes that while the science of program/project management is well known, challenges still arise due to human factors. It then discusses how assurance is meant to guarantee successful optimization and delivery of business benefits from programs/projects, but definitions of assurance can vary. Finally, it proposes an approach to integrated assurance that includes appointing an integrated assurance lead and using rapid assessments across nine dimensions to provide ongoing support and advice to the program delivery team.

Why Things Go Wrong (and Right)
There are lots of books on programme and project
management and the science is well known – so why is
there always a challenge?

Reality and the Problem of Definition
P3 Assurance activities should guarantee the successful
optimisation and delivery of business benefits released
through Programme and Project Investments
OED: [Assurance is] a positive declaration intended to give
confidence; a promise [or] confidence or certainty in one’s own
abilities
PMBOK: Assurance is the process of providing confidence to
stakeholders that projects, programmes and portfolios will achieve
their scope, time, cost and quality objectives and realise their
benefits

Exhibit Houses, I&D vendors, General and Sub-Contractors, and other service providers are critical to the success of tradeshows and exhibitions. And while show organizers and exhibitors rely heavily on them to create impactful events, the ability to connect and collaborate is often limited. In the following few slides we’ll look at how eventuosity® can be utilized as a value-added offering by service providers to improve the events workflow for themselves, their clients and the third parties with whom they must both interact.

Using Reviews and Assurance to Manage Portfolio and Programme Risk

Upside Energy Ltd

Projects are risky activities. We take on a managed level of risk in order to achieve defined rewards. It's therefore not surprising that some projects fail — completely eliminating failure would be a sign that we're being too risk averse. Problems arise when the level of failure across our program or portfolio is not commensurate with the desired risk/reward profile. Project reviews and assurance can be a very useful tool to help monitor risk levels across our portfolio, and hence to identify and mitigate the risks which are not being managed effectively. This talk looks at some factors you should consider when setting up an assurance programme.

Researching & developing best practice for major collaborative change

Association for Project Management

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.

If AI changes everything – do feelings still matter?

Association for Project Management

APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 11 April 2024. Speaker: Carole Osterweil Data is power. AI changes everything. 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.

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.

The silent project disruptor: Building AI solutions

Association for Project Management

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.
