The Adaptive PMO: Manage and Maintain Change Management for long term successKeyedIn Projects
Change is an essential way of life for project managers and keeping up with change has proven to be a differentiator for businesses looking to innovate and grow in a complicated environment. While change brings with it new opportunities and growth, it also comes with obstacles and challenges that need to be managed and maintained in order for long term success. In an era of uncertainty and chaos, the role of the Project Management Office is critical to the success and sustainability of business change.
Portfolio planning is a major undertaking for many enterprise project management office teams – and those that are staying ahead of the curve know this is a continual process.

Transforming Vision to Value - Managing the Strategy to Execution Process Accelare
An essential element of leadership is growing the organization’s capability to deliver more value. While most leaders have a good idea of what they want the organization to do, they struggle to translate their vision into focused and effective action.
Executives need a well-defined process to manage the translation of their vision and strategy into targeted, synchronized execution – a strategy-to-execution process. When business architects design, implement, and optimize this process, organizational performance increases exponentially.
This presentation reviews:
• A process framework to clarify vision and translate it into crisp strategies;
• Capability based operating models;
• Identify the capability enhancements required for strategy realization, and
• Identify the investment roadmap that creates the most value for the organization
Agile India 2016 Keynote - The Lean-Agile Enterprise Awakens- Scalable and Mo...Richard Knaster
New competitive threats often require organizations to build increasingly complex, interconnected and sophisticated software and systems, faster, better and cheaper. Most organizations are not equipped to meet this new challenge! Meanwhile small, nimble competitors, like Airbnb and Uber are taking a big bite on the profits of the giants.
So what’s the answer? What have we learned in the past decade from our adventures in agile and our attempts at scaling? What does the future hold?
In this talk, Richard Knaster, Principal Consultant and SAFe Fellow, discusses a more scalable and modular lean-agile approach that enables even the largest enterprises to compete with smaller and nimbler competitors that are disrupting companies in all industries. Richard is a Principal Contributor to the Scaled Agile Framework and previously worked at IBM where his roles included Chief Agile Methodologist. World Wide Agile Practice Manager and various product management roles in the Rational Brand.
Herding cats or flocking birds - agile portfolio managementDave Sharrock
Managing the evolution of a single product working with a small number of teams is somewhat straightforward. Working from a single backlog, once the teams have established a predictable velocity, the product roadmap becomes relatively easy to visualize, whether by timeframe or feature set. As we increase the complexity of the product, things become harder. Different teams require different backlogs. Different products require work from different teams. Before you know it, there are lots of independent moving parts, with the risk that the coordination cost becomes higher and efficiency falls. In this talk, we consider some ground rules for visualizing work across multiple teams and discuss how dependencies are coordinated across different teams and product lines.
Project Portfolio Management is one of the key activities that an organization can perform to consistently deliver business value to its stakeholders. According to Gartner, IT spending is on pace to grow by $3.8 Trillion globally in 2015 which is a 2.4 % increase from 2014. Despite this slow growth outlook, IT organizations can utilize the core competencies of Project Portfolio Management to drive greater value creation through the process of categorization, optimization and recalibration of their IT investment assets. This presentation will discuss the challenges of creating business value through the vehicle of project portfolio management by providing insight into:
A better understanding of value creation through project execution.
Aligning project selection and resource optimization with businessneeds

Leadership in Transforming Organizational CompetitivenessBill Haser
Presentation to #CIOSolutionsGallery on how to leverage IT to improve organizational competitiveness.
There are two sides of the fence. The evolving nature of IT can compel organizational change. Yet, IT can also help to soften that blow by productively enabling it. Trying to find that balance can be both complex and taxing for any IT leader; however, those transformational efforts are indeed winnable. You just need to know what you are doing. Listen as one highly acclaimed IT leader shares his advice and own “lessons learned” in future-focusing a huge global enterprise through helping to transform its organizational competitiveness.
Capacity Conquered: Realigning Resources to Respond, React and RecoverKeyedIn Projects
Resource capacity is an important yet challenging model for any PMO to get an accurate understanding of. Add to that changing resource requirements, shifting business priorities and unpredictable resource pool and it becomes very daunting to maintain a reliable capacity plan. In today’s rapidly changing environment, this is just the start of it.
Connected Project Management in the Oil, Gas & Chemicals Industry Ashwin Menon
Gas & Chemicals is a capital intensive industry that has as a fundamental business requirement to increase project profitability for all capital projects. Why? Most companies are experiencing:
Increasing shareholder expectations and compliance requirements
A higher than acceptable rate of project budget overruns, delays, and even project failures
Increasing project complexity and shortening of delivery dates for projects
An increasing level of fragmented process and data management
The most effective approach to achieving this requirement of increased project profitability is by gaining improved insight and control and optimized process efficiency within each of the capital projects and across the investment portfolio.
This approach also drives a reduction in project risk through improved transparency and data consistency. As a result, each capital project team is able to achieve better quality and faster response times enabled via enhanced process standardization and flexibility.
SAP is committed to partnering with its customers as they transform into digital Oil, Gas & Chemical companies by helping:
Reimagine business models to find new revenue and profit sources by offering innovative approaches to addressing market challenges
Reimagine business processes and use digital technology to optimize business outcomes by converging information and operational technologies
Reimagine the role and structure of the workforce to support future business by incorporating wearable technology, 3D printers, and geospatial technologies
Our vision is to help the Oil, Gas & Chemicals industry digitally transform in order to drive profitable growth, build customer intimacy and grow talent. This document offers our point of view on how Capital Project management must be implemented, how SAP can help and some of the leading practices we have seen.

Translating Strategy into Action with Enterprise Architecture WebinarPlanview
Jeff Ellerbee, Solutions Marketing Manager, Troux and author and former Gartner analyst Mark McGregor as they discuss why and how Enterprise Architects need to work closely with portfolio and project managers in order to deliver on the intended strategy.
Many enterprise architects mis-understand their business value and need ways to elevate EA in the eyes of their business colleagues. While most portfolio and project managers in an organization can easily recite their company strategy they are challenged to understand the meaning of that strategy and how it affects the choices they make. By working together enterprise architecture provide the meaning the PMO needs while closing the gap between the strategy and action that both groups need if they are to succeed in enabling the business to achieve its objectives.
Specifically learn how;
- The ideal connection points between enterprise architecture and the PMO work.
- Failure to increase cooperation could spell the end for both your EA and PMO initiatives.
- Planview is delivering cloud based solutions that address the needs of both architecture teams and the PMO individually and together.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
